Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 4 Tari coin from the Kingdom of Sicily (Italian States) made of Silver is that it features an image of King Philip II (Filippo II) on one side, while the other side bears the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Sicily. This coin was minted during Philip II's reign from 1556 to 1562 and was widely used as a standard circulation coin during that time.
