The grosso (English ‘groat’), was the first higher value silver denomination minted anywhere in Western Europe from the late 12th century. The grosso is roughly the same size as the English medieval penny (circa 19mm), and is easily identifiable by its depiction of the Doge and St Mark standing either side of a banner on the obverse, and Christ enthroned on the reverse.</p> <p><img height="315" alt="An example image of a grosso (continental groat)" width="500" src="/documents/image/IOW-2DA204.jpg" /><br /> Obverse description: Doge (left) St Mark (right) standing either side of a banner.<br /> Obverse inscription: SM.VENETI [Name of Doge] DVX<br /> Reverse description: Christ enthroned<br /> Reverse inscription: Often IC/XC either side of head.<br /> Diameter: circa 19mm.<br /> Weight: circa 2g.<br />  </p>http://www.finds.org.uk/medievalcoins/denominations/denomination/id/47054Half angelGoldhttp://www.finds.org.uk/medievalcoins/denominations/denomination/id/54388Half bawbeehttp://www.finds.org.uk/medievalcoins/denominations/denomination/id/388107Half demyGoldhttp://www.finds.org.uk/medievalcoins/denominations/denomination/id/10752Half groatSilverhttp://www.finds.org.uk/medievalcoins/denominations/denomination/id/5260Half nobleGoldhttp://www.finds.org.uk/medievalcoins/denominations/denomination/id/60377Half plackhttp://www.finds.org.uk/medievalcoins/denominations/denomination/id/377481Half realhttp://www.finds.org.uk/medievalcoins/denominations/denomination/id/481
