| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field depicts the stylized castle or tower of Genoa — the emblem of the city — rendered in Gothic relief characteristic of medieval Genoese hammered coinage. The tower motif is flanked by decorative elements within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding legend in uncial Latin reads P C DVX IAnVE XXVIII P C, identifying Paul of Campofregoso as the twenty-eighth Doge of Genoa. The inscription is arranged continuously around the periphery between an inner beaded border and the irregular coin edge. The overall die style is consistent with mid-fifteenth-century Genoese goldsmith work. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Paul of Campofregoso's first dogeship lasted barely a year — he seized power in 1461, was expelled in 1462, then briefly recovered the position before losing it again in 1463. This coin falls into that fractured second grip on power, minted during a period when Genoa's internal factional violence made any coinage a political act. The Campofregoso and Adorno families had been trading the dogeship through coup and counter-coup for decades, and the mint records from this period are correspondingly chaotic.
CNI III#5 is among the rarer attributions in the Genoese gold series precisely because the window of issue was so narrow.
