Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 6 Grossi coin from Montferrat is that it features an image of a shield with the coat of arms of the House of Savoy, which was the ruling family of Montferrat at the time. The coat of arms includes a stylized image of a bull, which was a symbol of strength and power for the Savoy family. This design element reflects the rich history and cultural heritage of the region, and adds to the coin's unique character and value.
