Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat coin from the Lordship of Chios (Genoese colonies) is that it features an image of Filippo Maria Visconti, the ruler of Milan, on one side, and the coat of arms of the Visconti family on the other. This coin was minted during Visconti's reign (1426-1436) and was used as a form of currency in the Genoese colonies. The fact that it was made of gold and weighs 3.28 grams suggests that it was a valuable and significant coin during its time.
