Interesting fact
The 1 Soldino coin from the Republic of Venice, featuring Bartolomeo Gradenigo, has a unique feature - it was made with a unique blend of silver, specifically .670 silver, which is slightly higher than the standard .600 silver used in many other coins of the time. This makes it stand out from other coins of the era and adds to its historical significance.
