Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Denaro coin from the Republic of Venice is that it features a unique design element - a small relief image of a dolphin, which is located on the reverse side of the coin, beneath the inscription "Sit tibi terra levis" (May the earth be light for you). This dolphin symbol was a nod to the city's maritime history and its association with the sea.
