Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Scudo - Alvise Mocenigo IV (Pattern) ND (1771-1773) from Republic of Venice (Italian States) made of Gold (.999) weighing 41.1 g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the Republic of Venice. The coin was issued during the reign of Alvise Mocenigo IV, who was the Doge of Venice from 1763 to 1778. During his reign, the Republic of Venice was facing significant challenges, including a decline in trade and commerce, and a growing national debt. Despite these challenges, the minting of this coin suggests that the Republic of Venice was still capable of producing high-quality currency, and that the value of the Scudo remained strong during this time period.
