En 1611, les Mazzetti sont privés du fief de Frinco et du droit de battre monnaie en raison des nombreuses contrefaçons effectuées dans leur atelier par Rodolfo II.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 grosso - Anonyme ND (1581-1601) from Lordship of Frinco (Italian States) made of Billon weighing 3.57 g is that it features a unique design, with an ornate cross on the obverse side and a shield with the coat of arms of the Frinco family on the reverse side. This design was used during the reign of anonymous lords, who ruled the Lordship of Frinco during the 16th century. The use of billon, a type of alloy composed of silver and copper, was also a distinctive feature of this coin.
