Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Tornesello coin from the Republic of Venice is that it was made of Billon, which is an alloy of silver and copper. This was a common practice in medieval Europe, as it allowed for the production of coins that were more durable and resistant to wear and tear than coins made of pure silver. The use of Billon in coinage also made it possible to produce a larger number of coins with a lower silver content, which helped to facilitate trade and commerce.
