Comment
This coin can be dated to the last part of WIlliam's reign, when Monferrato had been elevated to the status of a DuchyInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Grossetto coin is that it was minted during the reign of William I, who was the Duke of Mantua from 1575 to 1587. During his rule, he implemented several economic reforms, including the introduction of a new currency system, which led to the minting of this coin. The coin's design features William I's bust on one side and the coat of arms of the Duchy of Mantua on the other. It was made of silver and weighs 1.14 grams.
