Venetian grosso The Venetian grosso (plural Grossi) is a silver coin first introduced in Venice in 1193 under doge Enrico Dandolo. It originally weighed 2.18 grams, was composed of 98.5% pure silver, and was valued at 26 dinarii. Its name is from the same root as "groschen" and the English groat, all deriving ultimately from the "denaro grosso" ("large penny").
