Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Grosso Tirolino coin from the City of Ivrea (Italian States) is that it features a unique design on its reverse side. The coin's reverse depicts a crowned eagle, which is a symbol of the Holy Roman Empire, surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves. This design was used during the reign of Emperor Frederick II, who ruled the Holy Roman Empire from 1200 to 1299. The use of this design on the coin highlights the close ties between the City of Ivrea and the Holy Roman Empire during this time period.
