Interesting fact

The 12 Bagattini coin from the Republic of Venice features an image of Saint Mark, the patron saint of Venice, on one side, and the Doge of Venice, Antonio Priuli, on the other side. This coin was minted during Priuli's reign, which lasted from 1620 to 1621. The use of billon, a copper and silver alloy, was a common practice during this time period, as it was a more affordable alternative to pure silver or gold coins. Despite its relatively low value, this coin is still considered a rare and valuable collector's item today, especially for those interested in the history of the Italian States.
