Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Scudo coin from Genoa is that it features an image of Conrad I, who was the first Doge of Genoa to be elected for life. This was a significant departure from the traditional system of electing Doges for a fixed term, and it marked a turning point in the history of the Republic of Genoa.
