| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central depiction of the Genoese city gateway (castello) set within a polylobed inner border adorned with trefoils and rosettes, all enclosed within a beaded circle. The architectural motif is rendered in the Gothic style characteristic of medieval Genoese coinage. A circular legend in Latin uncial lettering surrounds the design, identifying the doge by his ordinal number and terminating with the mint official's initial. The overall composition is bold and well-centred, consistent with the high-quality goldsmith tradition of the Genoese mint. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A cross pattée occupies the centre of the design, set within a polylobed inner border richly decorated with trefoils and rosettes, evoking the ornate Gothic aesthetic of 14th-century Genoese goldsmithing. The arms of the cross extend to the lobes of the inner frame, creating a harmonious integration of heraldic and decorative elements. A circular legend in Latin uncial script surrounds the composition, invoking the authority of Conrad, King of the Romans, a traditional legitimising formula retained by the Republic of Genoa on its gold coinage. The legend terminates with the letter R, identifying the mint official responsible for this emission. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Antoniotto Adorno held the dogeship not once but three times — an extraordinary fact that reflects the brutal factional instability of late 14th-century Genoa, where the office changed hands repeatedly between Guelph and Ghibelline clans through a mixture of popular revolt and foreign intervention. His first tenure, from 1378, coincided with Genoa's entanglement in the War of Chioggia against Venice, a conflict that stretched Genoese naval resources to their limit. Gold coinage of this period carried genuine political weight as a signal of fiscal credibility to trading partners from Caffa to Chios.
