| Additional information |
Pietro IV ruled Aragon and its Mediterranean possessions for over half a century, but his grip on Sardinia was never comfortable. The island had been a Aragonese crown claim since 1297, granted by papal bull, yet actual control required decades of grinding warfare against the Genoese-backed Doria and Malaspina families. Coinage issued under his Sardinian title served as much a political declaration as a practical currency — asserting dominion over territory still actively contested by rival lords well into the 1370s.
