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 Paolo Renier, who was the last Doge of Venice before the fall of the Republic in 1797. This coin is a rare and valuable piece of history, as it represents the end of an era for the Venetian Republic and the beginning of a new era for Italy.
