Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 12 Zecchini - Pietro Grimani ND (1741-1752) coin from Republic of Venice (Italian States) is that it features a unique design, showcasing the Lion of St. Mark, the symbol of Venice, on one side, and the Doge of Venice, Pietro Grimani, on the other. This coin was minted during Grimani's reign, which lasted from 1741 to 1752, and was likely used as a ceremonial coin or a gift for dignitaries, rather than for circulation.
