Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Scudi d'Oro coin from the Republic of Venice is that it was minted during a time of great political and social change in the region. The coin was issued during the reign of Lodovico Manin, who was the last Doge of Venice before the fall of the Republic in 1797. This period saw the rise of Napoleon and the French Revolution, which had a significant impact on the political landscape of Europe, including the Italian States. Despite this turmoil, the 2 Scudi d'Oro coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item, a testament to the enduring legacy of the Republic of Venice.
