Interesting fact

The 1 Osella - Alvise Mocenigo III 1723 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 a decline in trade and commerce, and increased competition from other European powers. Despite these challenges, the Republic of Venice continued to mint coins, such as the 1 Osella, which were used for ceremonial purposes and as a symbol of the city's wealth and power.
