Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 15 Soldi coin from the Republic of Venice is that it features an image of St. Mark, the patron saint of Venice, on one side, and a depiction of the Doge of Venice, Pietro Grimani, on the other. This coin was minted during Grimani's reign from 1741 to 1751 and was used as a standard circulation coin in the Italian States.
