Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Zecchini coin from the Republic of Venice is that it features a unique design on its reverse side. Instead of displaying the usual coat of arms or symbol of the Venetian Republic, this coin features an image of the Lion of St. Mark, which is a symbol of Venice and represents the city's connection to the Bible and its role as a major trading power in the Mediterranean. This design choice was meant to emphasize the importance of the Lion of St. Mark as a symbol of Venetian power and influence.
