| Additional information |
Bonifacio, the Genoese-founded stronghold at Corsica's southern tip, maintained its own municipal coinage as a direct expression of the autonomy Genoa had granted it following the city's establishment in 1195. These deniers circulated across a span bracketing nearly two centuries of Aragonese pressure, plague, and chronic siege — the town was blockaded repeatedly and fell briefly to Alfonso V of Aragon in 1420 before being recovered. The Doazan reference remains the primary catalogue for this scarce municipal type, with surviving specimens thin on the ground.
