Comment
Alignment: It tends to be medal, but they can be out of line easily, some might even seem coin aligned.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Grosso coin from the Republic of Ragusa is that it features the Ω sign, which is the Greek letter omega, on its reverse side. This is a unique feature among coins of that time period and suggests that the Republic of Ragusa had strong cultural and trade ties with Greece.
