Comment
KM#258 has value as written as "QUATTRO". KM#235 has value as QUATRO with one "T".Interesting fact
The 4 Denari coin from Genoa, made of Billon and weighing 1.5g, is interesting because it was used as a form of currency during the Republic of Genoa's prosperous era of maritime trade and colonization. The coin's design features the symbol of the Republic, the Cross of St. George, and the coat of arms of the Doria family, who were prominent leaders in Genoa during that time. This coin was widely used in the Mediterranean region and was considered a stable and reliable form of currency, which contributed to Genoa's economic success.
