Interesting fact
The 10 Zecchini coin from the Republic of Venice (Italian States) made of Gold (.999) weighing 34.94 g is interesting because it was minted during the reign of Alvise Mocenigo IV, who was the Doge of Venice from 1763 to 1778. This coin was used as a standard circulation coin during his reign, and it is made of pure gold, which gives it a high value. Additionally, the coin's design features the image of the Doge on one side and the symbol of the Republic of Venice on the other, making it a unique and valuable collector's item for numismatists.
