Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Scudi coin from Genoa is that it was used as a form of currency in the Republic of Genoa, which was a powerful and influential maritime republic in the Mediterranean during the 12th to 18th centuries. The coin's design features the coat of arms of the Republic of Genoa, which includes a cross and the motto "S.P.Q.G." (Senatus Populusque Genovensis), representing the unity and strength of the Genoese people.
