Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Soldino - Lorenzo Celsi ND (1361-1365) coin from Republic of Venice (Italian States) is that it features an image of Saint Mark, the patron saint of Venice, on one side, and the Doge of Venice, Lorenzo Celsi, on the other side. This coin was minted during Celsi's reign as Doge, which lasted from 1361 to 1365, and it was used as a standard circulation coin in the Republic of Venice. The use of silver in the coin's composition and its relatively small weight of 0.55 grams also make it a notable example of coinage from this time period.
