<p>[QUOTE=&quot;serafino, post: 7987045, member: 74574&quot;]The 1700&#039;s&nbsp; silver crowns from Naples and Sicily are getting expensive and are scarce .&nbsp; Naples had their silver crowns of Piastra 120 Grana and Sicily had theirs of 12 Tari.&nbsp; In 1735 the Naples 120 Grana crown weighed 25.61 Grams. The Sicilian 12 Tari crown weighed 27.34 Grams</p><p><br /></p><p>In the 1700&#039;s under the Borbone rule (Regno di Borbone), Sicily and Naples had slightly different monetary systems.&nbsp; The mint in Napoli made different denomination coins than the mint in Palermo.&nbsp; King Carlo III di Borbone ruled over both Naples and Sicily but the Sicilians wanted their own coins with different denomination&#039;s and different designs. Sicilian silver coins from the Palermo mint had on the reverse, either the Sicilian eagle with a crown or a Christian cross. Most silver coins from the Napoli mint had the King&#039;s coat of arms.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
