Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Grosso - Bertrand ND (1334) coin from the Patriarchate of Aquileia is that it features a unique design on its reverse side. While most coins of that era depicted religious symbols or monarchs, this coin features a image of a kneeling man, believed to be a representation of the coin's namesake, Bertrand, kneeling before the Patriarch of Aquileia. This design choice was likely a nod to the powerful influence of the Patriarchate in the region at the time.
