Grossetto Pubblico Deposited
The diminutive of Grosso, a base silver coin struck in Vencie in the latter part of the fourteenth century, and which replaced the Matapan (q.v.), a larger and thicker coin. Its value was four Soldi. The later Grossetti of Dalmatia, Illyria, etc., were worth only about two thirds of the Venetian.
