Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Grosso coin is that it was minted during the reign of Johann Franz Trivulzio, who was a prominent figure in the Grisons region of Switzerland during the 16th century. Trivulzio was known for his military and political achievements, and his rule saw the expansion of trade and commerce in the region. The coin itself is made of silver and weighs 3.44 grams, making it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
