Additional information

Milan's first republican interlude — a brief, fractious experiment in commune governance squeezed between Visconti dominations — produced this grosso under the authority of the Fabbrica della Moneta during a period when the city's mint was genuinely contested political ground. The dating range reflects not a long stable issue but an interrupted one, tied directly to the commune's unstable grip on civic administration before Matteo Visconti's definitive consolidation of power.
