Sicilian piastra
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The piastra was the currency of Sicily as part of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. In order to distinguish it from the piastra issued on the mainland part of the kingdom, it is referred to as the "Sicilian piastra" as opposed to the "Neapolitan piastra". These two piastra were equal but were subdivided differently. The Sicilian piastra was subdivided into 12 tari, each of 20 grana or 120 cavalli.
In 1815, a single piastra currency was introduced for the Two Sicilies, see Two Sicilies piastra.
