Interesting fact
The 1 Carzia coin from Venetian Cyprus (Cyprus) made of Billon weighing 0.45g was minted during the reign of Pietro Loredano, who was the Doge of Venice from 1567 to 1570. The coin features an image of the Doge on one side and the Venetian coat of arms on the other. It's interesting to note that the coin was made of Billon, which is an alloy of silver and copper, and was a common material used for coins during that time period.
