Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Bolognino Grosso coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Italy. The coin was issued by the Republic of Bologna, which was a significant city-state in the region of Emilia-Romagna, and it features the images of Giacomo and Giovanni Pepoli, who were influential figures in the city's government during the 14th century. The coin's silver content and relatively low weight also make it a unique and interesting example of medieval coinage.
