Comment
Between 1720 and 1734, Sicily was under Austrian rule and at that time, Carlo III of Sicily was Karl VI von Habsbourg, Holy Emperor.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Tarí - Carlo III 1730-1732 coin from the Kingdom of Sicily (Italian States) made of Silver is that it was minted during the reign of King Charles III of Spain, who was also known as Charles VII of Naples and Sicily. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign to standardize the currency across his territories. The 3 Tarí coin was equivalent to 3 silver tarí, which was the standard unit of currency in Sicily at the time. The coin features an image of King Charles III on one side and the coat of arms of Sicily on the other. It is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
