Interesting fact
The 2 Bagattini - Nicolò Tron coin from the Republic of Venice (Italian States) is notable for its unique design, which features a depiction of the Doge of Venice, Nicolò Tron, on one side, and the Lion of St. Mark on the other. The coin was minted during Tron's reign as Doge, which lasted from 1471 to 1473. 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, the 2 Bagattini coin remains a popular collector's item among numismatists today.
