Interesting fact
The 24 Lire coin from Genoa, issued in 1798, is interesting because it was minted during a time of political and economic upheaval in the region. The Ligurian Republic, which was established in 1797 and lasted until 1814, was a short-lived state that was formed after the French Revolution and was annexed by Napoleon's Empire. Despite this turmoil, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and beauty, with its gold content and detailed design. It's a testament to the resilience and skill of the mint workers and artisans who created it during a time of great change and uncertainty.
