| Reversbeschreibung | Central field displays a cross pattée within a beaded inner circle, a design derived from the medieval denier tournois tradition and widely adopted by Frankish and Italian colonial mints in the Levant. The cross is boldly struck, with each arm clearly defined despite the worn state of the flan. The circumferential Latin legend reads CONRADVS REX RO, invoking the name of Conrad, King of the Romans, as a traditional titular reference inherited from earlier tornese coinage types. The overall composition closely follows the established iconographic formula of the denier tournois, adapted here for Genoese colonial use on Chios. |

The Giustiniani family held Chios under a formal maona — a joint-stock company arrangement unique in medieval and early modern colonial administration — from 1346 until the Ottoman conquest in 1566. Dominic Giustiniani's tenure as podestà placed this issue squarely in the island's final Genoese decades, when the mastic trade still made Chios one of the most profitable colonial possessions in the eastern Mediterranean.
The denier tornese denomination derives ultimately from the French denier tournois struck at Tours, a type that spread across Latin-controlled Greek territories after the Fourth Crusade and persisted in the Aegean long after it had vanished from Western Europe.
