Hi again Young,

Your coin is a denaro 'gherardino' of Robert the Wise (1309-1343) from an uncertain Neapolitan mint.  Although Robert ruled the Naples area mainland, he was still styled 'King of Sicily.'  Obverse features four lis with label above and legend  :plus:ROBERTUHDEI GR A.  Reverse features a cross with the legend  :plus:IERL ET SICIL' REX.  Nice coin.

Cheers,

David
