Interesting fact

The Trillina coin was minted during the reign of Johann Franz Trivulzio, who was the Lord of Mesocco from 1518 to 1549. The coin features an image of Trivulzio on one side and the coat of arms of the House of Trivulzio on the other. What's interesting is that the coin was made of copper, which was a common material for coins at the time, but it weighed only 0.82 grams, making it one of the lightest coins in circulation during that period. This is notable because it reflects the economic and monetary policies of the time, which were aimed at creating a more efficient and standardized system of currency.
