Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Genovino - George Adorno ND (1413-1415) coin from Genoa is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "S.G." (short for "Senatus Genovensis") located above the coat of arms on the obverse side of the coin. This shield was added to the coin's design to signify the coin's issuance by the Senate of Genoa, which was a powerful governing body in the Republic of Genoa during that time. This feature sets the coin apart from other coins issued during the same period and adds to its historical significance.
