Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Denaro "Mezzano" is that it was minted during the reign of Conrad II, who was the Holy Roman Emperor from 1312 to 1352. This coin was issued in the city of Piacenza, which was part of the Italian States during that time. Despite being made of Billon, a relatively inexpensive metal alloy, the coin still holds significant historical value and is a sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
