Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Grosso coin from the Duchy of Milan is that it was issued during the reign of Bernabò and Galeazzo II, who were powerful rulers of the Visconti family. The coin features a unique design, with the effigies of the two rulers on opposite sides, and does not include an eagle, which was a common feature on many other coins of the time. This coin is a rare and valuable example of medieval numismatics and is highly sought after by collectors.
