Interesting fact
The 1 Soldino coin from the Republic of Venice, featuring Antonio Venier and a star behind him, has an interesting fact associated with it. Despite being made of silver and weighing only 0.46 grams, it was still widely accepted and used as a form of currency during its time (1382-1400).
