Interesting fact
The ½ Ducatone coin from the Republic of Venice (Italian States) is interesting because it was minted during the brief reign of Lodovico Manin, who was the last Doge of Venice before the fall of the Republic in 1797. This coin is a rare example of a coin that was minted during a time of political upheaval and change in Venetian history.
