| Additional information |
Sassello is a small comune in the Ligurian Apennines with a population under two thousand. In 1998, several Italian municipalities issued brass token coinage under the broader "città" or local authority series catalogued in the Unusual World Coins supplement — a brief experiment in civic promotional currency that preceded euro adoption and exploited a legal grey area in Italian monetary law. Sassello's issues are among the more obscure of this group.
