Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Denaro coin from the Lordship of Phocaea is that it features a unique blend of Christian and Islamic influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the image of Saint George, a popular Christian saint, while the reverse side features an inscription in Arabic script, indicating the coin's denomination and the name of the issuing authority, the Lordship of Phocaea. This blending of religious symbols and languages reflects the cultural diversity and religious tolerance that existed in the Genoese colonies during the 15th century.
