Interesting fact
The 1 Osella - Alvise Mocenigo IV 1772 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 IV, who was the Doge of Venice from 1763 to 1778. 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.
