Interesting fact
The Fiorino stretto, a gold coin from the Republic of Florence, has a unique history. Despite being minted for over 300 years, from 1267 to 1303, it maintained a consistent design, featuring the image of St. John the Baptist on one side and the Florentine lily on the other. This coin's design remained unchanged for such a long period, which is a testament to the stability and endurance of the Republic of Florence during that time.
