| Additional information |
Charles VI's nominal lordship over Genoa (1396–1409) was less a conquest than a surrender — the city, exhausted by factional warfare between the Adorno and Fregoso families, voluntarily submitted to the French crown in 1396 simply to have someone else manage its internal collapse. The French governors who actually ran the city found Genoese minting traditions essentially unchanged; the Terzarola continued striking to established local weight standards, with Charles's authority acknowledged in name only.
MIR 54 distinguishes at least three die varieties across the thirteen-year French administration.
