Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Soldi coin from the Republic of Venice is that it features an image of the Doge of Venice, Alvise Pisani, on one side, and the Venetian coat of arms on the other. The coin was minted during Pisani's reign from 1734 to 1737 and was used as a standard circulation coin in the Italian States. Despite its small size, the coin has a rich history and is a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
