| Additional information |
Antoniotto Adorno held the dogeship not once but twice — his second term running 1522 to 1527 — a period of acute instability in Genoa as the city oscillated between French and Imperial allegiances. The 1522 restoration of Spanish-Imperial influence following Andrea Doria's maneuvering placed Adorno in an increasingly untenable position, governing a republic whose true power brokers were shifting rapidly beneath him.
The Frassinet reference 399 places this squarely among the rarer Genoese gold scudi of the period. Adorno died in office in 1527, the same year as the Sack of Rome.
