Interesting fact

The 1 Osella - Lodovico Manin 1794 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.

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 rare and valuable piece of history that serves as a reminder of the resilience and craftsmanship of the Venetian people during a time of turmoil.
