<p>[QUOTE=&quot;serafino, post: 25576611, member: 74574&quot;]I collect mainly Sicilian and Italian coins and King Charles III of Spain, that we see on these 8 Reales coins, was King Carlo III di Borbone of Sicily and Southern Italy before he became King of Spain in 1759.&nbsp; From 1734 to 1759 he was King in Napoli (Naples) and his kingdom extended from Southern Italy down to Sicily. This King&#039;s silver coins minted in Naples and Sicily had more variety than the later Spanish coins. For instance when his son Filippo was born in 1747 they issued special silver coins that had a portrait of Carlo/Charles III and his Queen on the obverse and a portrait of his wife holding their baby on the reverse.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
