Interesting fact

The Bagattino was a coin used in the Croatian States during the 15th to 18th centuries, and it was equivalent to 1/24 of a Venetian ducat. The name "bagattino" comes from the Venetian word "bagatino," which means "small money." The coin was made of copper and had a very small weight of 1.72 grams, making it one of the lightest coins in circulation at the time. Despite its small size and value, the Bagattino was widely used in trade and commerce throughout the region.
