Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denaro piccolo - Hubert ND (1338-1345) coin from the Lordship of Padova (Italian States) is that it was made of Billon, a type of alloy that was commonly used in medieval Europe for coinage. Billon is a mixture of silver and other metals, such as copper, tin, or lead, and was used to create a coin that was lighter in weight and had a lower intrinsic value than a solid silver coin. Despite its lower value, the Denaro piccolo was still widely used in trade and commerce during its time.
