| Additional information |
Savona's gold fiorino was struck in direct imitation of the Florentine florin, which by the mid-14th century had become the dominant trade coin of the Mediterranean. The city's right to mint gold was a hard-won privilege, and Savona exercised it intermittently — the roughly half-century span attributed to this type reflects both political instability and Genoa's persistent efforts to suppress rival minting authority in Liguria.
