Interesting fact
The ¼ Scudo coin featuring Nicolò Sagredo was part of a series of coins minted during his reign as the Doge of Venice (1675-1676). The coin's design includes an image of Sagredo on one side and the Venetian coat of arms on the other. What's interesting is that Sagredo was known for his efforts to restore the power and prestige of the Venetian Republic, which had been facing economic and political challenges at the time. The coin's minting was likely a way to promote his image and reinforce his efforts to strengthen the Republic's position.
