Interesting fact
The 1 Osella - Lodovico Manin (Double Weight) 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. 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 rare and beautiful double-weight Osella coin, which features an image of Lodovico Manin, the last Doge of Venice. This coin is a testament to the resilience and craftsmanship of the Venetian people during a time of turmoil.
