Lunardi D3e var., Ives XII, 4.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Ducat - Dorino Gattilusio ND (1428-1449) coin from the Lordship of Lesbos (Genoese colonies) is that it features a unique blend of Christian and Islamic influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the image of the Virgin Mary, while the reverse side features an Arabic inscription, indicating the coin's dual cultural heritage. This blending of religious motifs reflects the diverse cultural landscape of the region during the 15th century and adds to the coin's historical significance and value.
