Comment
Differs from KM#2 in that there are two dashes instead of stars around the number 5 on the reverse, and in the language of the denomination.A variety with error in date, 1081 instead of 1801, is also known.
Interesting fact
The 5 Gazettae coin from the Septinsular Republic (1800-1814) is interesting because it was issued during a brief period of independence for the Ionian Islands, which were otherwise under Ottoman rule for centuries. The coin's design features the Venetian lion, symbolizing the islands' connection to Venice, and the inscription "Repubblica Settinsulare" (Septinsular Republic) in Italian, indicating the islands' new status as a sovereign state.
