Interesting fact

The Quattrino coin was used in the Republic of Venice during a time of economic struggle, and its design was meant to symbolize the city's resilience and strength. The coin features a depiction of the Lion of St. Mark, a symbol of Venice, on one side, and the Doge of Venice, the ruler of the city, on the other. Despite its small size and relatively low value, the Quattrino coin was an important part of everyday transactions in Venice during its time.
