Comment
Ref. P#90-92Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Thaler coin from the Republic of Venice is that it features an image of Lodovico Manin, the last Doge of Venice, on one side, and an image of the Lion of St. Mark, the symbol of Venice, on the other side. This coin was minted during a time of great political and social change in Venice, as the city was transitioning from a powerful maritime republic to a territory under French rule. Despite this, the coin still bears the traditional imagery and symbols of Venetian power and identity, showcasing the rich history and culture of the city.
