Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Trillina coin is that it was used as a form of currency in the Lordship of Mesocco, which was a small territory in the Grisons region of Switzerland. Despite its small size, the Lordship of Mesocco was able to issue its own coins, including the Trillina, which was made of copper and had a relatively low weight of 0.81 grams. This coin is a rare example of a local currency from a small territory that was used in the 15th to 16th centuries.
