Interesting fact

The 2 Soldi coin from the Republic of Venice features an unusual design on its reverse side. Instead of showing a traditional coat of arms or symbol, it depicts a pair of armed islands, which is where the coin gets its name "Isole e Armata" (Armed Islands). This design was meant to symbolize the Republic's military power and its ability to defend its territories.
