Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Soldi coin from the Republic of Venice is that it features an image of St. Mark, the patron saint of Venice, on one side, and the Doge of Venice, Andrea Gritti, on the other. This coin was minted during Gritti's reign from 1523 to 1539 and was used as a standard circulation coin in the Italian States.
