Interesting fact
The 3 Grosetti coin from the Republic of Ragusa (Croatian States) is interesting because it was used as a form of currency during a time when the Republic was experiencing significant economic growth and cultural development. The coin's design features the image of St. Blaise, the patron saint of Dubrovnik, and the inscription "S. BLASIUS. D. G. R. RAGVSA" which stands for "St. Blaise, protector of the Republic of Ragusa." This coin was minted during the reign of Ivan III Gundulić, who was a prominent leader and patron of the arts. The use of silver in the coin's production also speaks to the region's rich mineral resources and the importance of trade in the economy. Overall, this coin serves as a small but fascinating window into the history and culture of the Republic of Ragusa during the 17th century.
