Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 10 Zecchini coin from the Republic of Venice is that it features a unique design element - a small image of the Lion of St. Mark, the symbol of Venice, on the reverse side of the coin. This tiny detail signifies the rich history and cultural heritage of the city-state and adds to the coin's numismatic value.
