Comment
The first gold coin type struck in Bologna.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Gold Bolognino coin is that it was minted during the reign of Giovanni II d'Asburgo, who was the ruler of the Republic of Bologna at the time. The coin features an image of him on one side and the coat of arms of Bologna on the other. This coin is a rare and valuable piece of numismatic history, with only a limited number of coins minted during its production run.
