Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Testone coin from the Lordship of Mesocco (Grisons) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Trivulzio family, which was added to the coin's obverse side. This shield is a distinctive feature of the coin and sets it apart from other coins of the same era.
