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, known as a "nail hole." This was added to the coin's design to make it easier for merchants to thread the coins onto a string or cord, allowing them to be easily carried and counted.
