Definizione

• also called Breitgro- schen, or Grossi Lati, was a name applied in the fourteenth century and later to cer- tain types of Bohemian Groschen of large module, to distinguish them from smaller pieces of the same denomination, Grossi Praecisi, which were struck contempora- neously.

  It should be remembered, however, that the adjective breit is employed in a gen- ral way to define the broad type, as distin- guished from the dick, or thick specimens. This accounts for such names as the Breit- pfennig of Augsburg; the Breiter Thaler, etc. See Dickthaler.
