Interesting fact

The 1 Zecchino coin from the Republic of Venice (Italian States) made of Gold (.999) weighing 3.48 g is interesting because it was minted during the reign of Sebastiano Venier, who was the Doge of Venice from 1577 to 1578. The coin features an image of the Doge on one side and the Lion of St. Mark on the other, which symbolizes the connection between Venice and the Byzantine Empire. This coin is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists due to its historical significance and limited mintage.
