Comment
Reported weights between 1.78 and 2.09 grams.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Gianuino 1668 coin from Genoa is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "S.P.Q.G." (Senatus Populusque Genovensis) which stands for "Senate and People of Genoa." This indicates that the coin was minted by the Republic of Genoa and was a symbol of the city-state's independence and sovereignty.
