Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 4 Tari coin from the Kingdom of Sicily (Italian States) made of Silver weighing 11.5g is that it features an image of King Charles V (Carlo V) on one side, while the other side bears the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Sicily. This coin was minted during Charles V's reign from 1555 to 1556 and was widely used as a means of currency throughout the kingdom. Despite its age, many of these coins have survived to this day and are highly sought after by collectors and historians.
