Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Zecchini coin from the Republic of Venice is that it features a unique design on its reverse side. Instead of showing the traditional coat of arms or symbol of the Venetian Republic, it depicts a image of the Doge of Venice, Alvise Mocenigo III, kneeling before the Virgin Mary. This design was meant to symbolize the Doge's devotion to the Catholic Church and the city's patron saint.
