Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Denaro coin from the Republic of Venice is that it features an image of Saint Mark, the patron saint of Venice, on one side, and the Doge of Venice, Lorenzo Celsi, on the other side. This coin was minted during Celsi's reign from 1361 to 1365 and was made of Billon, a type of alloy that is composed of a mixture of metals, typically copper, silver, and sometimes gold. The coin weighs 0.36 grams and is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
