| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued to mark the 700th anniversary of Boccaccio's birth, this coin presented an immediate historical headache: scholars still dispute whether he was born in 1313 in Florence or in Certaldo, and whether his father was resident in Tuscany or France at the time of his birth. Italy chose 1313, and the coin was struck accordingly. Boccaccio's *Decameron*, written in the wake of the 1348 Black Death, is one of the foundational texts of European vernacular prose — the anniversary gave the Italian mint a rare occasion to honor a literary figure rather than a political one.
