Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denaro - Ottobono ND (1302) coin from the Patriarchate of Aquileia is that it features an image of Saint Mark, the patron saint of Venice, on its reverse side. This is significant because the Patriarchate of Aquileia was a powerful ecclesiastical state in the region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy, during the Middle Ages, and Saint Mark was an important religious figure in the area. The inclusion of his image on the coin highlights the close relationship between the church and the state during this time period.
