| Beschrijving voorzijde | Crowned effigy of King Frederick III of Aragon facing left, depicted in a schematic medieval style typical of hammered Sicilian coinage. The royal bust is enclosed within an inner beaded circle, with the surrounding field bearing the abbreviated Latin legend. The portrait, though stylized, conveys the crowned regalia of the sovereign, with visible hair treatment below the crown. The overall die execution reflects the rustic artisanal standard of early 14th-century Sicilian mint production. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Federico III ruled Sicily in defiance of the Angevin claim and papal interdiction for decades following the War of the Sicilian Vespers, and his copper coinage was struck under a kingdom that much of Europe officially refused to recognize. The denaro circulated through a protracted, grinding conflict that only formally ended with the Treaty of Caltabellotta in 1302 — after which Federico retained Sicily as a separate kingdom under the title "King of Trinacria," a deliberate diplomatic fiction designed to placate Naples and Rome without actually removing him.
The forty-year span of the MIR reference range reflects genuine uncertainty in attributing individual pieces to specific years of his reign.
