The first is this one, with legend GENEVA CIVITAS 1595 which corresponds to CNI 34 (specimen of poor conservation, C 3, incomplete and with illegible date). No other specimens are known to us. The second type, with legend GENVINA. CIVILIT.1596, corresponds to CNI 35 and the following two other specimens are known: Collezione Papadopoli, no. 3811, and Navarrini, La zecca di Gazoldo, reprod. N with illegible date. Gamberini, op. cit., correctly distinguishes the two types.
