Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denier coin from the Republic of Venice is that it was minted during the reign of Enrico Dandolo, who was the Doge of Venice from 1192 to 1205. Dandolo was a prominent figure in Venetian history and played a significant role in the Fourth Crusade, which took place during his reign. The coin's design, which features an image of the Doge on one side and a cross on the other, reflects the influence of the Catholic Church and the Venetian Republic's strong maritime trade and economic power during this time period.
