Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅛ Thaler coin from the Republic of Venice is that it features a unique design on its reverse side. Instead of the usual depiction of a saint or a coat of arms, the coin bears an image of a winged lion, which is a symbol of the city of Venice. This design was chosen to represent the city's powerful navy and its role as a major maritime power in the Mediterranean.
