Interesting fact
The 1 Ducat coin from the Lordship of Chios, issued during the reign of Antonio Venier (1354-1382), features a unique design element - a small shield with the Venier family's coat of arms, which is placed above the coat of arms of the Republic of Genoa. This indicates the coin's origin and connection to the Genoese colonies.
