Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Sizin - Pietro Loredano ND (1567-1570) from Venetian Cyprus (Cyprus) made of Billon weighing 1.97 g is that it features a unique blend of Christian and Islamic influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the image of St. Mark, the patron saint of Venice, while the reverse side features an Arabic inscription reading "There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah." This blending of religious symbols reflects the diverse cultural heritage of Cyprus during the Venetian period.
