Interesting fact
The Grosso Largo coin from the Duchy of Urbino was minted during the reign of Duke Francesco Maria II della Rovere (1574-1625), who was known for his love of art and culture. As a result, the coin features a beautifully designed coat of arms on the reverse side, showcasing the della Rovere family's emblem. The coin's design and craftsmanship make it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
