Comment
Coins dated 1796 with a star after date have been minted in 1814Interesting fact
The 96 Lire coin from Genoa, made of gold (.909) and weighing 25.21g, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in the region. The Republic of Genoa, which had been a powerful maritime and trading power for centuries, was facing significant challenges in the late 18th century, including competition from other European powers and internal political instability. Despite these challenges, the Genoese mint continued to produce high-quality coins like the 96 Lire, which were widely used in trade and commerce. This coin is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of the Genoese people during a time of great upheaval.
