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, Silvestro Valier, on the other side. This coin was minted during Valier's reign from 1694 to 1699 and was used as a standard circulation coin in the Italian States.
