Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Philip Maria Visconti, the Duke of Milan, on one side, and the coat of arms of the Republic of Genoa on the other. This coin was minted during Visconti's rule over Genoa, which lasted from 1421 to 1435. Despite being a standard circulation coin, it is made of silver, which was a valuable and prestigious metal at the time.
