Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Denier coin from the Siena Republic is that it features a unique design element - a small crescent moon and stars on the reverse side, which was a symbol of the city of Siena. This design was used on many coins issued by the republic during this time period, and it has become a recognizable feature of Sienese coins.
