Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, particularly in France and Italy. Charles VI of France, also known as Charles the Mad, was king during this time and his reign was marked by mental illness and political instability. Meanwhile, the Republic of Genoa was facing economic and political challenges, including competition from other Mediterranean powers and internal conflicts. Despite these challenges, the Denier minuto coin remained a widely used and trusted form of currency throughout the region.
