Picciolo

Massa functioned as an independent commune in the early fourteenth century before eventually falling under Pisan dominance, and this copper picciolo belongs to the narrow window of that autonomy. The type is catalogued under MIR 334 and appears in CNI XI among a cluster of issues difficult to attribute with precision due to overlapping civic and signorial authority during the period.

At under 0.6 grams, these pieces circulated hard and survive poorly.
