Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Fiorino ND (1326) coin from the Republic of Florence is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "S.P.Q.F." (Senatus Populusque Florentinus) which stands for "The Senate and People of Florence." This symbol represents the republic's independence and sovereignty, and it's a distinctive characteristic of this particular coin.
