Definition

• The name given to a type of coins on which there is a figure of three legs joined. The design originated in Sicily, was called by the Greeks Trinacria from its triangular shape, and was copied in the Isle of Man. The motto on the latter coins is quocunque jesceris stabit.

  The name Trinacria was a popular one for the gold coin of two Oncie, struck by Ferdinand III, King of Sicily (1759-1825). It has the above-named symbol on the reverse.
