"Racconti umoristici, vol. 1/2" by Achille Giovanni Cagna is a collection of humorous short stories written in the late 19th century.

The opening of the collection introduces a conversation between Cagna and his friend Gabasio, reminiscing about their carefree youth, before transitioning to a story centering around asolitary coin with a rich history.
