| Additional information |
Issued under Martin I of Sicily and his mother Maria, who served as regent following the extinction of the Sicilian branch of the Aragonese line with the death of Frederick IV in 1377. The joint authority reflected the contested nature of Martin's claim — he arrived in Sicily in 1392 backed by Aragonese military force to suppress a baronial revolt, and these small copper pieces circulated during a period of near-constant armed conflict across the island.
MIR 218 is among the more frequently encountered denari of the period, though surviving examples in decent condition are less common than raw numbers suggest — copper coinage of this weight saw brutal circulation in a war-damaged economy.
