Comment

Minted in copper because, according to the C.N.I., they were to replace those in a mixture of silver due to the lack of silver.

Interesting fact

The 2 Denari coin from Genoa, minted in 1751, features an image of a dog on its reverse side. This unique design was meant to symbolize the loyalty and fidelity of the Republic of Genoa, which was a powerful maritime empire during its time.
