Interesting fact
The 1 Zecchino coin was minted during the reign of Leonardo Donà, who was the Doge of Venice from 1606 to 1612. The coin features an image of the Doge on one side and the Lion of St. Mark on the other, which was a common design element for coins minted during this time period in the Republic of Venice. The use of gold for the coin's composition was also a deliberate choice, as it symbolized the wealth and power of the Venetian Republic.
