Interesting fact

The 5 Soldi coin from Genoa, minted between 1671 and 1675, features an interesting design element - a small shield with the letters "S.P.Q.G." (Senatus Populusque Genovensis) which stands for the Senate and People of Genoa, signifying the coin's origin and the authority of the Genoese Republic.
