Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Genoa. The Republic of Genoa was a powerful and influential city-state in the Mediterranean during the Middle Ages, and the coinage of the time reflects the political and economic shifts that were taking place. The Denier minuto was a small denomination coin that was widely used in trade and commerce, and its minting during the governorship of Antoniotto Adorno suggests that it was an important part of the economy of the time.
