Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Grossone coin from the Republic of Pisa is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "P" in the center, which stands for "Pisa." This shield is located on the reverse side of the coin, surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves. This distinctive feature sets the coin apart from other coins of the time and makes it easily recognizable to collectors and historians.
