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 used as a standard circulation coin in the Italian States. The use of Saint Mark's image on the coin symbolizes the strong connection between the city of Venice and its patron saint, and serves as a reminder of the city's rich history and cultural heritage.
