| Additional information |
Philip II inherited Naples as part of the Spanish crown's Italian holdings in 1554, the same year his father Charles V began abdicating his various titles piecemeal. The tari denomination itself was a survival of the earlier Aragonese monetary system in southern Italy, and its continued use under the Habsburgs reflects deliberate policy — disrupting local coin types risked commercial friction in a kingdom already managed at arm's length from Madrid.
MIR 163 is a short-dated type, produced across only two or three years before Philip's coinage for Naples was reorganized.
