Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was countermarked with a "Gate" symbol, which was the emblem of the Genoese colony of Caffa, indicating that it was issued by the colony and not by the mainland Genoese government. This suggests that the coin was used as a form of local currency in the colony, and its design and issuance were overseen by the local authorities in Caffa.
