Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Grosso agantano coin from the Republic of Massa (Italian States) is that it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Italy. The coin was minted between 1317 and 1319, a period known as the "Golden Age of the Italian States," which saw the rise of city-states like Florence, Venice, and Genoa. These cities became powerful economic and political centers, and their coins, like the Grosso agantano, were widely used in trade and commerce. The coin's silver content and intricate design made it a valuable and sought-after currency, both within Italy and beyond its borders.
