Interesting fact

The 1 Marcello - Agostino Barbarigo coin from the Republic of Venice (Italian States) is notable for its unique design, which features the portrait of Doge Agostino Barbarigo on one side and the Lion of St. Mark on the other. The Lion of St. Mark is a symbol of Venice and represents the city's connection to the Bible and its role as a major trading power in the Mediterranean. The coin's design was created by the artist Marcello, who was a prominent sculptor and medallist in Venice during the late 15th century.
