Pavia's communal coinage of this period reflects the city's increasingly precarious autonomy — by the 1310s, the commune was maneuvering between Visconti pressure from Milan and imperial interventions under Henry VII and later Ludwig IV. The 2 Grossi denomination placed Pavia in direct commercial competition with the Milanese grosso system, a deliberate monetary assertion by a city that would lose its independence entirely within a generation.
The CNI IV references 497 and 498 document two distinct die varieties for this type, distinguishable by subtle differences in the doorway rendering.
