Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Soldino coin from the Republic of Venice is that it features a unique design element - a small image of a lion on the reverse side, which was a symbol of the Venetian Republic. This design element was added to the coin to signify the coin's origin and to show the connection between the Republic of Venice and the Lion of St. Mark, which was a symbol of the city of Venice.
