Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Scudo coin from the Republic of Venice is that it features an image of Giovanni Corner II, the Doge of Venice, on one side, and the symbol of the Venetian Republic, the Lion of St. Mark, on the other. This coin was minted during Corner's reign from 1709 to 1721 and was used as a standard circulation coin in the Italian States.
