Interesting fact
The Denier - Nicolò Doria ND (1436-1448) from County of Castelgenovese (Italian States) made of Billon is a rare coin that features an unusual design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Doria family. This shield is located on the reverse side of the coin, beneath the crowned effigy of the king. The inclusion of this shield was a deliberate choice made by the mint masters to signify the coin's origin and authenticity, as the Doria family was a powerful and influential family in the region. This feature makes the coin particularly interesting to collectors and historians who study the history of coinage and the significance of symbolism in numismatics.
