Comment
(fr)Le 27 novembre 1396, Charles VI devint seigneur de Gênes. Ce titre incluait aussi la gouvernance de la cité de Savone (Savona), territoire alors sous contrôle gênois. Dans les deux villes des monnaies d'or et d'argent furent émises au nom du roi de France. Cependant en 1409, une révolte du peuple gênois chassa les garnisons françaises de Gênes et de Savone, mettant ainsi fin à cette souveraineté.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Petachina coin from the Lordship of Savona is that it features a unique design on its reverse side. Instead of the typical depiction of a ruler or a coat of arms, the coin features a representation of the "Petas" or "Petachina," which is a traditional Ligurian headdress worn by women. This design was chosen to symbolize the cultural heritage and traditions of the region.
