Very cute reference.
Is this a new addition @tdz? Was it in the 7th edition?

I landed it in an auction in May 2024, but did not play it in the 7th, probably because of the usual 45 day delay in clearing the Italian export authorities.

Unlike the gold florin where he is always standing, on the grosso he stands from 1296 to 1347, then sits for the next 100 years, then stands again. I like the seated types though the pseudo-throne seems out of character for this guy who wore camel hair vestments
and foraged his food..
