Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Ducato coin from the Republic of Venice is that it features an image of the Doge of Venice, Alvise Mocenigo IV, on one side, and the Lion of St. Mark on the other. The Lion of St. Mark is a symbol of Venice and represents the city's connection to the Mediterranean Sea and its rich history as a maritime republic.
