Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Grosso coin from the City of Parma is that it features an image of Frederick II, also known as Frederick the Great, who was the Holy Roman Emperor and King of Sicily during his reign from 1220 to 1250. Despite being issued in the 13th century, this coin is still considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
