Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ 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, Giovanni Corner, on the other side. This coin was minted during Corner's reign from 1624 to 1629 and was used as a standard circulation coin in the Italian States.
