Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Scudo "della croce" coin is that it features a unique design element - a small cross located on the reverse side of the coin, which is not typically found on other coins from the Republic of Venice. This cross is believed to have been added to the design as a symbol of the Venetian Republic's connection to the Catholic Church.
