Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Grosso Agostano coin from the City of Rimini is that it was minted during the reign of Pope Urban V, who was known for his efforts to reform the Catholic Church and promote the use of silver coins as a medium of exchange. The coin's design features the image of Saint Agostino, the patron saint of Rimini, on one side, and the coat of arms of the city on the other. Despite its small weight, the coin was widely used in trade and commerce throughout the Italian States during the 13th century.
