Grosso aigle couronné

Pisa's mint output in the late thirteenth century was shaped almost entirely by the city's precarious position between Genoa and Florence — both of whom were actively working to strangle Pisan commercial reach. The grosso aigle couronné belongs to a short-lived emission tied to this period of contraction, struck for less than two years before monetary policy shifted again under pressure from changing trade alliances.

CNI XI places surviving examples within a narrow die study. The emission is brief enough that significant die progression is rarely observed across known specimens.
