Comment
Between 1720 and 1734, Sicily was under Austrian rule and at that time, Carlo III of Sicily was Karl VI von Habsburg, Holy Roman Emperor.Interesting fact
The 6 Tarí coin from the Kingdom of Sicily (Italian States) made of Silver is interesting because 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, which aimed to standardize the currency across the various regions under his rule. The 6 Tarí coin was equivalent to 1/4 of a Spanish dollar, and it features an image of the king on one side and the coat of arms of Sicily on the other.
