Interesting fact
The 1 Soldo coin from the Republic of Venice (Italian States) made of Copper weighing 3.5g has an interesting fact that it was used as a currency during the Venetian Republic, which was a powerful and influential state in Europe during the 17th century. The coin was first introduced in 1652 and was used until 1669. It was a widely used denomination and was used for everyday transactions. The coin's design featured the Lion of St. Mark, which was the symbol of Venice, on one side and the Doge's crowned portrait on the other. The coin's copper composition made it durable and long-lasting, and many of these coins have survived to this day, making them a popular collector's item for numismatists.
