TOUCH – Florence and its coin

In Florence, in 1252, a new coin that will change the history of currency is created: the Florentine Florin. The Florin is a golden coin that weights 3,54 grams and is made completely in gold 24 karats. It is one of the first coins made of 100% pure gold since the fall of the Roman Empire and became the preferred coin to be used in Europe for economic transactions: basically it was the Dollar of the time. In this guided tour you will discover with us the history and the secrets of this coin and create one with your hands, thanks to the help and the supervision of one of the most famous Master Goldsmith of the town.
