Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 20 Denari coin from Genoa is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "S.P.Q.G." (Senatus Populusque Genovensis) which stands for "Senate and People of Genoa." This indicates that the coin was minted by the Republic of Genoa and reflects the city-state's rich history and cultural heritage.
