Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Agostino Barbarigo, who was the Doge of Venice from 1486 to 1501. The coin features an image of Barbarigo on one side and the Lion of St. Mark on the other, which was a common design element on coins from the Republic of Venice during this time period.
