Medici Bank $101.96 The Medici Bank was the largest and most respected bank in Europe during the 15th century.There are some estimates that the Medici family was for a period of time the wealthiest family in Europe. Estimating their wealth in todays money is difficult and imprecise, considering that they owned priceless art, land, gold and much more. With this monetary wealth, the family acquired political power initially in Florence, and later in the wider spheres of Italy and Europe.A notable contribution to the profession of accounting was the improvement of the general ledger system through the development of the double entry system of tracking credits and debits.Giovanni di Bicci de Medici was the first Medici to enter banking on his own, and while he became influential in Florentine government, it was not until his son Cosimo the Elder took over that in 1434 as gran maestro that the Medici became unofficial head of state of the Florentine republic.

Lorenzo de Medici $100.37 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Lorenzo de Medici (January 1, 1449 April 9, 1492) was an Italian statesman and de facto ruler of the Florentine Republic during the Italian Renaissance. Known as Lorenzo the Magnificent (Lorenzo il Magnifico) by contemporary Florentines, he was a diplomat, politician and patron of scholars, artists, and poets. His life coincided with the high point of the early Italian Renaissance; his death marked the end of the Golden Age of Florence. The fragile peace he helped maintain between the various Italian states collapsed with his death. Lorenzo de Medici is buried in the Medici Chapel in Florence. Lorenzos grandfather, Cosimo de Medici, was the first member of the Medici family to combine running the Medici bank with leading the Republic. Cosimo, one of the wealthiest men in Europe, spent a very large portion of his fortune in government and philanthropy. He was a patron of the arts and funded public works. Lorenzos father, Piero the Gouty de Medici, was also at the center of Florentine life, active as an art patron and collector.
