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, Tomaso Mocenigo, on the other side. This coin was minted during Mocenigo's reign from 1414 to 1423 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 0.24 grams and is considered a standard circulation coin of its time.
