Comment
CNI attributes these pieces to the autonomous Republic period (13-14th centuries).Interesting fact
The Bolognino was a coin used in the Italian States during the 14th to 16th centuries, and the one from Arezzo was issued during the reign of Pope Leo X, who was a member of the powerful Medici family. The coin's design features the coat of arms of the Medici family, which includes a shield with three balls (or "palle" in Italian) on it. This design was a symbol of the family's power and influence, and it was used on many coins issued during their rule.
