Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Scudo coin from the Republic of Venice is that it features an image of Giovanni Bembo, a Venetian statesman and writer, on one side, while the other side bears the coat of arms of the Venetian Republic. This coin was minted during Bembo's tenure as Doge of Venice, which lasted from 1615 to 1618.
