Interesting fact
The 1 Ducato - Marin Faliero ND (1354-1355) coin from the Republic of Venice (Italian States) is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Venice. The coin was minted during the reign of Doge Marin Faliero, who was elected in 1354 and ruled until his death in 1355. During his reign, Venice was facing economic challenges due to the decline of its traditional trading partners and the rise of new competitors in the Mediterranean. Despite these challenges, the Republic of Venice continued to mint coins like the 1 Ducato, which was a standard circulation coin made of gold and weighed 3.53 grams. This coin is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of the Venetian economy during a time of change.
