Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Giovanni IV Paleologo, who was the last reigning monarch of the Paleologus-Montferrat dynasty. He ruled Montferrat from 1445 until his death in 1464, and this coin was likely minted during his reign. The coin's design and materials reflect the economic and political conditions of the time, and its preservation provides a valuable window into the history of the region.
