Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Scudo coin from the Republic of Venice is that it features an image of Saint Mark, the patron saint of Venice, on one side, and the Doge of Venice, Francesco Erizzo, on the other side. This coin was minted during Erizzo's reign from 1631 to 1644 and was widely used in trade and commerce throughout the Italian States during that time.
