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, during the 15th century. Despite its age, the coin is still considered a valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
