Interesting fact

The 3 Denari coin from Genoa, issued in 1802, features an interesting design element - a wreath surrounding the coat of arms of the Ligurian Republic. This wreath is made up of laurel leaves and berries, which were a symbol of victory and prosperity in ancient Greece and Rome. The inclusion of this design element highlights the cultural and historical significance of the Ligurian Republic, and adds to the coin's unique character and appeal.
