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.
