Interesting fact
The 1 Quattro, 4 Denari coin from Genoa, made of Copper and weighing 1.50g, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in the region. The Republic of Genoa, which had been in existence since 1139, was coming to an end in the late 18th century, and this coin was minted during that transition period. It's a tangible piece of history that connects us to the past and the events that shaped the world we live in today.
