Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denaro - Azzo Visconti (Bust) ND (1335-1339) from City of Cremona (Italian States) made of Billon weighing 0.87 g is that it features a unique design on its reverse side. Instead of the typical depiction of a coat of arms or other symbol of the issuing authority, this coin bears an image of a kneeling figure, believed to represent the legendary founder of Cremona, Cremus. This unusual design choice was likely made to commemorate the city's rich history and cultural heritage.
