Interesting fact
The 1 Osella - Lodovico Manin 1793 coin from the Republic of Venice (Italian States) is interesting because it was minted during a time of great political and social change in Europe. The French Revolution had just begun, and the Venetian Republic was facing pressure from neighboring countries and internal strife. Despite these challenges, the Republic continued to mint coins, including this silver 1 Osella coin, which features an image of Lodovico Manin, the last Doge of Venice. This coin is a tangible reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of the Venetian Republic during a time of significant upheaval.
