| Beschrijving voorzijde | A crowned eagle displayed with wings spread occupies the central field, its head turned to the left in the heraldic tradition of the Kingdom of Sicily. The eagle's talons are visible at the base, and the royal crown surmounts the figure prominently. The circumferential Latin legend is divided into segments by the eagle's wings and reads FERDINAN. III. D. G. SICILIÆ. REX., identifying the issuer as Ferdinand III, by the grace of God, King of Sicily. The overall design reflects the neoclassical engraving style characteristic of late 18th- and early 19th-century Neapolitan-Sicilian coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ferdinando III spent much of his reign ruling Sicily as a British-backed refuge after Napoleon's forces drove him from Naples in 1806 — but this issue predates that crisis, struck when he still nominally held both thrones. The copper coinage of this period was chronically undervalued against bullion, driving endemic melting and counterfeiting that plagued Sicilian circulation throughout the early nineteenth century.
The Spahr subdivisions (144–147) reflect die variations across the four-year run rather than distinct authorized issues.
