Interesting fact
The 1 Soldino coin from the Republic of Venice, featuring Andrea Dandolo, has a unique feature - it has a small hole in the center of the coin, known as a "nail hole." This was added to the design to help distinguish the coin from counterfeit versions, as it was difficult to replicate the hole without damaging the coin.
