Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Cornuto coin from Montferrat is that it features an image of William IX Paleologus, the Marquess of Montferrat, on one side, and the coat of arms of the Paleologus family on the other. This coin was minted during William's reign from 1494 to 1518 and was used as a standard circulation coin in the Italian States. Despite being made of silver, the coin weighs only 5.46 grams, making it a relatively lightweight coin for its time.
