Comment
Ruler Geronimo Orio 1492-1494Interesting fact
The 1 Follaro coin from the Republic of Venice (Italian States) was minted during a time of significant economic and cultural growth for the city-state. The coin's design features the Lion of St. Mark, a symbol of Venice's patron saint and a representation of the city's power and influence. The coin's copper composition and relatively low weight also reflect the importance of trade and commerce in the region, as copper was a widely used material for coinage during this time period.
