Interesting fact
The 1 Osella - Alvise Mocenigo III 1726 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 III, who was the Doge of Venice from 1722 to 1732. During his reign, Venice was facing significant challenges, including the decline of its traditional industries and trade routes, as well as the rise of rival powers such as Austria and Great Britain. Despite these challenges, the Republic of Venice continued to issue coins like the 1 Osella, which were used for ceremonial purposes and as a symbol of the city's wealth and power.
