Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Picciolo coin from the Republic of Lucca is that it was minted during the reign of Otto Imperator, who was a powerful ruler in the region during the 14th century. Despite its small size and relatively low denomination, the coin was made of billon, a type of alloy that was commonly used for coins during that time period. Additionally, the coin's design features a unique blend of medieval and Renaissance elements, reflecting the cultural and artistic influences of the time.
