Interesting fact
The 10 Tornesi, 2½ Soldini coin from the Republic of Venice (Italian States) made of Copper weighing 5.33 g is interesting because it was minted during a time of economic and political significance for the Republic of Venice. The coin was issued in 1619, a period when the Republic was facing economic challenges due to the decline of its traditional industries and trade routes. The coin's design, which features the symbol of the Venetian Republic, the Lion of St. Mark, and the Doge's hat, represents the Republic's rich history and cultural heritage. Additionally, the coin's copper composition was a common material used for coinage during this time period, indicating the resourcefulness and adaptability of the Republic's minting practices.
