Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Cornuto - Bonifacio IV Paleologo ND (1518-1530) coin from Montferrat (Italian States) is that it features a unique design element - a horned helmet on the obverse side, which gives the coin its name "Cornuto" meaning "horned" in Italian. This distinctive feature was a symbol of the Paleologo family, who ruled Montferrat during that time.
