Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Francesco Sanudo, who was the last Duke of Naxos and the ruler of the Duchy of the Archipelago, a Venetian dependency in the Aegean Sea. The coin features an image of Sanudo on one side and the Venetian Lion on the other, symbolizing the coin's connection to the Venetian Republic.
