| Aanvullende informatie |
Philip II inherited Sicily as part of the Spanish Crown's Italian territories in 1556, and the island's copper coinage was administered through the Palermo mint under viceregal authority rather than direct royal oversight. The grano was the workhorse denomination of Sicilian daily commerce, and surviving examples in any condition above heavily corroded are not common — copper of this period circulated relentlessly and was frequently melted during later monetary reforms under the Spanish administration.
