Interesting fact

The Bagattino coin from the City of Šibenik (Croatian States) is interesting because it was used as a form of currency during the Renaissance period in Europe, specifically in the 15th century. It was made of copper and weighed 1.07 grams, which was a significant amount for a coin at that time. The fact that it was used in everyday transactions during that era makes it a unique piece of history.
