| Additional information |
Bonifacio, perched on the southern tip of Corsica, maintained its own civic coinage despite being a Genoese possession — the denier series reflects the city's jealously guarded municipal autonomy within that relationship. The type 2 classification distinguishes it from an earlier emission, though the precise boundary between types is debated among specialists working from die studies rather than documentary evidence.
The nearly two-century span of attribution reflects how little is documented about production intervals; these likely circulated alongside Genoese and Aragonese issues as Corsica's political situation shifted repeatedly after 1284.
