Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Grosso coin from the Marquisate of Ceva is that it features the effigies of two rulers, Gugliemo and Bonifacio, on opposite sides of the coin. This unique design was a result of a political compromise between the two rulers, who shared power in the region during a time of political turmoil. This coin is a rare example of a coin that was minted during a specific historical event, making it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
