Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Trillina coin from Masserano (Italian States) is that it was issued during the reign of Pope Alexander VI, who was a member of the powerful Borgia family. This coin was minted during a time of great political and religious upheaval, and its design reflects the influence of the Renaissance and the Catholic Church. Despite its small size and relatively low denomination, the Trillina coin is a valuable piece of numismatic history, offering a glimpse into the economic and cultural landscape of 15th-century Italy.
