Interesting fact

The 6 Tari coin from the Kingdom of Sicily (Italian States) made of Silver (.916) weighing 13.58 g is interesting because it was minted during the reign of King Charles III of Spain, who was also the King of Sicily at the time. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign, which aimed to standardize the currency across the Kingdom of Sicily and the Spanish Empire. This coin, in particular, was minted in 1735 and features the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Sicily on one side and the image of King Charles III on the other. It was used as a standard circulation coin and was valued at 6 Tari, which was a significant amount at the time. Today, this coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, highly sought after by numismatists and historians interested in the history of the Kingdom of Sicily and the Spanish Empire.
