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
One interesting fact about the Oncia of 30 Tarí - Carlo III (IV) 1732 from Kingdom of Sicily (Italian States) is that it was minted during the reign of King Charles III of Spain, who also ruled over the Kingdom of Sicily at the time. This coin was part of a series of silver coins issued by the kingdom during his reign, and it features an image of the king on one side and the coat of arms of the kingdom on the other. The Oncia was a standard unit of currency in the kingdom, and this particular coin was worth 30 Tarí, which was a smaller denomination. The fact that it was made of silver and weighs 73.84 grams suggests that it was a significant coin in terms of value and was likely used for larger transactions.
