One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denaro - Vicariato ND (1370-1380) from Kingdom of Sicily (Italian States) made of Billon weighing 0.60 g is that it features a unique blend of Christian and Islamic influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears an image of the Christian cross, while the reverse side features an Arabic inscription in a cursive script, indicating the coin's mintage during the period of Islamic rule in Sicily. This blending of cultural and religious motifs reflects the rich history and diversity of the Kingdom of Sicily during that time.
