Comment
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Quattrino coin from the Republic of Venice is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "S.M." (San Marco) on the reverse side, which represents the patron saint of Venice, Saint Mark. This symbol was added to the coinage during the reign of Doge Pietro Lando and was meant to signify the city's devotion to its patron saint and its connection to the Christian faith.
