| Additional information |
Genoese billon coinage of the final republican years was struck under the shadow of French revolutionary pressure building along the Ligurian border. The Republic collapsed in June 1797 when Napoleon's forces effectively dissolved it, making this the terminal issue of a mint tradition stretching back six centuries. Any piece from this type was struck within a five-year window that ended not with monetary reform but with conquest.
