Interesting fact
The 5 Centesimi coin from the Republic of San Marco (Republic of Venice, Italian States) made of Copper and weighing 5.06g is interesting because it was minted during a brief period of independence for the Republic of San Marco, which was established in 1848 and lasted only until 1849. This coin is a tangible reminder of the short-lived republic's attempt at self-governance and independence.
