Interesting fact
The 1 Osella - Alvise Mocenigo IV 1772 coin from the Republic of Venice (Italian States) is interesting because it features a unique design, with the Doge of Venice, Alvise Mocenigo IV, depicted on one side and the Lion of St. Mark on the other. This coin was minted during Mocenigo's reign from 1763 to 1778 and was used as a gift or ceremonial coin, rather than for circulation.
