Interesting fact
The 1 Osella - Alvise Mocenigo II 1703 coin from the Republic of Venice (Italian States) is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Venice. The coin was issued during the reign of Alvise Mocenigo II, who was the Doge of Venice from 1700 to 1709. During his reign, Venice was facing significant challenges, including a decline in trade and a series of wars with the Ottoman Empire. Despite these challenges, the minting of this coin suggests that the Venetian government was still able to produce high-quality currency, made from gold, which was a symbol of the city's wealth and power.
