Interesting fact
The 3 Piccioli coin from the Kingdom of Sicily, issued during the reign of Filippo III (1608-1613), features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Spanish Empire, which reflects the political influence of the Spanish Crown over the Kingdom of Sicily during that time.
