| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central design features a bold ornate cross with elaborate foliate or floral terminals dividing the field into four quarters, each containing a rampant griffin or similar heraldic beast, emblematic of the Republic of Genoa. The quadrate cross arrangement is rendered in high relief with finely detailed Baroque ornamentation. The surrounding peripheral legend, separated from the central device by a beaded border, reads DVX ET GVBERNATORES REIP GEN, identifying the Doge and Governors of the Genoese Republic as the issuing authority. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The 25 Doppie was among the largest gold coins struck in early modern Europe, produced by Genoa's mint during a period when the republic's financial networks — not its military power — made it a dominant force in European statecraft. Genoese bankers, operating through the Piacenza fairs, effectively served as the primary creditors of the Spanish Crown for much of the seventeenth century, and prestige pieces of this magnitude functioned as instruments of that financial diplomacy rather than as circulating money.
Surviving examples in any condition are genuinely rare. A 175-gram gold piece at .986 fineness was never intended for a merchant's purse.
