Interesting fact

The 16 Soldi coin features an image of Leonardo Loredan, the Doge of Venice from 1501 to 1521, on one side, and the coat of arms of the Republic of Venice on the other. The coat of arms includes the iconic Lion of St. Mark, which was a symbol of the city's patron saint and a representation of the Venetian Republic's power and influence.
