| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse field contains a three-line Latin inscription arranged horizontally across the coin's center, reading COMMO / DIVS, with the partial legend +REX. SICI(LI) VT running along the periphery. The inscription references the royal title 'Rex Siciliae' and the phrase 'ut commodius,' alluding to the utilitarian purpose of the issue as small change for everyday commerce. The flan is irregular and the strike uneven, consistent with hammered copper production at the Palermo and Messina mints during the reign of Philip III of Spain (Philip II of Sicily). Surface shows heavy verdigris patination with areas of encrustation. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Philip II of Spain — Philip I of Sicily by local reckoning — never set foot on the island he ruled, governing it entirely through a succession of viceroys. The grano was the smallest practical unit in Sicily's copper coinage, and issues of this period circulated ferociously in a cash-starved economy where silver rarely reached ordinary hands. Worn examples are the rule, not the exception.
