Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Grosso - Henry VII of Luxembourg ND (1310-1313) from Duchy of Milan (Italian States) made of Silver weighing 4.2 g is that it was minted during the reign of Henry VII, who was the first emperor of the House of Luxembourg and ruled the Holy Roman Empire from 1312 to 1313. He was known for his diplomatic and political skills, and his reign marked the beginning of a period of relative stability in the empire after a period of turmoil. The coin's design likely reflects the political and cultural influences of the time, and its silver content makes it a valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in the history of European coinage.
