Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Demi grosso ou grossetto coin from the Republic of Lucca is that it was minted during a time of significant economic and political change in the region. The coin was introduced in 1732, and its production continued until 1766, a period that saw the rise of the Enlightenment and the development of new economic and political systems in Europe. Despite these changes, the coin remained a stable and widely used form of currency throughout the Italian States, a testament to its durability and utility.
