Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Osella - Francesco Loredan 1760 coin from the Republic of Venice (Italian States) is that it features an image of the Doge of Venice, Francesco Loredan, on one side, and the symbol of the Venetian Republic, the Lion of St. Mark, on the other. This coin was minted during Loredan's reign as Doge, which lasted from 1752 to 1762, and was likely used as a ceremonial coin or a gift for dignitaries, rather than for circulation.
