Interesting fact
The 1 Mocenigo coin from the Republic of Venice features an image of Saint Mark, the patron saint of Venice, on one side, and a depiction of the Doge of Venice, Giovanni Mocenigo, on the other side. This coin was minted during Mocenigo's reign as Doge, which lasted from 1478 to 1485. The coin's design was meant to symbolize the connection between the city's religious and political leaders, and to promote the idea of the Doge as a divinely appointed ruler.
