Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Grossetto coin from the Republic of Bologna is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "S.P.Q.B." (Senatus Populusque Bolognensis) which stands for "Senate and People of Bologna". This symbolizes the city's independence and sovereignty during the Italian Renaissance period.
