This specimen was lot 71285 in Stack's Bowers Collector's Choice sale (Costa Mesa, CA, October 2021), where it sold for $100. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "ITALY. Naples & Sicily. Tari, 1733-CP SM. Palermo Mint. Charles III. PCGS EF-40. Lightly toned and rather pleasing for this charming minor, presenting only honest wear upon the high points." The numismatic history of the Austrian occupation of Sicily (1720-34) is obscure. In 1733, just before ceding the isalnd to the Spanish Bourbon, the regime struck [[Sicily 1733-CP SM 30 tari Dav-1414|''oncia argento'']], ''oncia oro'', [[Sicily 1733-CP SM 6 tari|''mezza piastra'']], 4 ''tari argento'', 2 ''tari argento'', this ''tari argento'', ''mezzo tari argento'' and a [[Sicily 1733 5 grani|''cinquina argento'']]. The tari had been struck in 1720-22 and this type was struck 1731-34. Charles III, the Bourbon, also struck tari in 1734-39 and 1754 which look very similar but are slightly lighter. He gave up his crown to become king of Spain on the death of his half brother, Ferdinand VI, in 1759.
