Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅛ Scudo coin from the Republic of Venice is that it features an image of Saint Mark, the patron saint of Venice, on one side, and the Doge of Venice, Francesco Erizzo, on the other. This coin was minted during Erizzo's reign from 1634 to 1643 and was used as a standard circulation coin in the Italian States.
