Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Grosso coin from the Republic of Venice is that it features an image of Saint Mark, the patron saint of Venice, on one side, and a depiction of the Lion of St. Mark, a symbol of the city, on the other. This coin was minted during the reign of Lorenzo Tiepolo, who was the Doge of Venice from 1268 to 1275. The coin's design reflects the rich history and cultural heritage of the Republic of Venice, which was a powerful maritime empire during the medieval period.
