Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the Republic of Venice. The coin was issued during the reign of Doge Giovanni Galbaio, who ruled from 823 to 840, a period of significant economic growth and cultural achievement for the city-state. The coin's design, featuring an anonymous figure with a temple in the background, reflects the influence of Byzantine art and architecture on Venetian culture during this time. Despite being a standard circulation coin, this denier is a rare and valuable artifact that provides a glimpse into the rich history of the Republic of Venice.
