Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Soldo/12 Bagattini coin from the Republic of Venice is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "S.M." (Senatus MCCXL) on the reverse side, which represents the Senate of Venice and signifies the coin's official status as a circulating currency.
