Comment
Struck prior to Carlo's coronation.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Tarí - Carlo 1734 coin from the Kingdom of Sicily (Italian States) 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 that featured a new portrait of the king, which was designed to promote his image as a powerful and benevolent ruler. Despite being made of silver, the coin was not widely accepted in trade due to its low denomination and was primarily used as a token of loyalty and appreciation for the king's subjects. Today, this coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, highly sought after by numismatists and historians interested in the history of the Italian States.
