Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Grosso coin from the Duchy of Milan is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the Visconti family emblem, which was added to the coin's reverse side during the reign of Henry VII. This emblem represents the powerful Visconti family, who were the rulers of Milan at the time and played a significant role in the coin's minting. This feature sets the coin apart from other coins of the same era and adds to its historical significance.
