Comment
Struck from Zecchino dies, KM#619, on thick flan.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Zecchini coin from the Republic of Venice is that it features an image of Doge Francesco Loredan, who was the ruler of Venice during the time the coin was minted (1752-1762). The coin's design was created by the artist Giovanni Antonio Selva, and it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
