Agontano Público Deposited
The name frequently used to describe a variety of Grosso struck at Ancona in the thirteenth century, and of the value of twelve De- narii. In 1476 Sixtus IV reduced the value of this coin from ten to eight Quat- trini, and in 1498 Pope Alexander VI issued an ordinance making the Anconi- tano one-third of the Carlino in weight and equal to two and one-half Bolognini in value.
