Interesting fact

The 10 Soldi coin from Genoa, issued between 1639 and 1649, features an interesting design element - a small shield with the letters "S.P.Q.G." (Senatus Populusque Genovensis) which stands for the Senate and People of Genoa, signifying the coin's origin and the authority of the Republic of Genoa.
