Interesting fact
The 1 Lira coin from Genoa, issued between 1745 and 1749, features an interesting design on its reverse side. It depicts a shield with the symbol of the Republic of Genoa, a cross, surrounded by two lions and topped with a crown. This design was meant to represent the power and authority of the Republic, which was a significant maritime and trading power in the Mediterranean during its time.
