Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 25 Centesimi 1848 coin from the Republic of San Marco (Republic of Venice, Italian States) is that it was minted during a time of great political and social change in the region. The Republic of San Marco was a short-lived state that was established in 1848 and lasted only until 1849, and the coin was minted during this time as a way to establish a new currency for the fledgling state. Despite its short-lived existence, the coin remains a valuable piece of numismatic history and a testament to the region's rich cultural heritage.
