Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Mocenigo - Lorenzo Priuli coin is that it features a unique design element - a small image of a lion on the reverse side, which was a symbol of the Priuli family. This coin was minted during a time of significant political and economic change in the Republic of Venice, and the inclusion of the lion symbol may have been a way to signify the family's influence and power.
