| Beschrijving voorzijde | Saint Lawrence, depicted in frontal three-quarter stance facing right, stands at left and presents a banner or gonfalon to the Doge, who kneels at right facing left in a gesture of devotion and submission. The composition follows the traditional Genoese dogal investiture type. A large letter S appears prominently in the lower field. The surrounding legend in Latin uncial script identifies the Doge and the patron saint. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Chios was leased to the Genoese Maona — a private colonial consortium — from 1347 onward, making its coinage the product of merchant capital rather than sovereign authority. John of Campofregoso held the Dogeship of Genoa twice, the second time from 1447 to 1448, which tightly brackets this issue to a single turbulent year. The ducat type was struck explicitly to facilitate trade with Venetian-dominated markets, mimicking Venetian weight standards to pass at par in eastern Mediterranean commerce.
The Lunardi S22 classification places this among documented Chiot imitative issues — coins designed from the outset to circulate as proxies for Venetian ducats without being forgeries in the modern legal sense.
