Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Picciolo coin from the City of Pesaro is that it features a unique design element - a small bird, known as a "picciolo," perched on the shoulder of the coin's main figure, Costanzo Sforza. This tiny detail has led numismatists to speculate that the bird may represent a symbol of good luck or prosperity, adding an extra layer of significance to an already valuable and rare coin.
