Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Gigliato coin from the Lordship of Chios (Genoese colonies) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "G" (representing the name of the lord, Girolamo II Lomellini) placed above the coat of arms on the obverse side of the coin. This distinctive feature sets it apart from other coins of the same era and makes it a notable collector's item for numismatists.
