Zecchino is
a powerful gold coin weighed 3.5
grams of pure gold, minted by the Republic of Venice from 1284 to 1797. Initially
called ducato, then zecchino
from the name of the Venetian mint,
the "zecca". Having
an ancient gold
zecchino, one of the most
appreciated coins in the ancient world, means to have a truly amazing
piece of history of a
Republic so long renowned for its wealth, power, and commercial
enterprise. An incomparable gift for a student who is about to graduate
(graduation gift idea) in history, archeology, cultural heritage, etc.,
or to any person who is passionate about antiques.
