Interesting fact
The Denaro Picciolo (long cross) 1395 from Perugia (Italian States) is a rare and valuable coin, with only a few known examples surviving to this day. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Pope Boniface IX, who was the Pope from 1389 to 1404. The coin features an image of the Pope on one side and a long cross on the other, which was a common design element for coins during this time period. Despite its small size and relatively low weight, this coin is highly sought after by collectors due to its historical significance and rarity.
