<p>[QUOTE="kevin McGonigal, post: 2968365, member: 72790"]One bit of an admonition. The Venetian Grosso was so popular that it was copied by other powers, often times with so little alteration, that it may be difficult to pick up the copy from a genuine Venetian coin. In case you did not know this, "grosso" in Italian simply means large or hefty or big and that was because, compared to the silver pennies and denaros and deniers floating around, it was a noticeably larger coin. The late medieval "groat" would be the English equivalent.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
