Venetian coinage

Over the more than a millennium of the Republic of Venice, the state issued a wide variety of coins for all sorts of different purposes. Some were for the state budget only, others for daily use in the city, and others again for ceremonial use or restricted to banking.

The Venetian coinage spans over half a millennium. Not all coins coexisted, and many changed their value over time. It is therefore not always possible to easily convert from one denomination to another.

Silence. Peace. Calm. Time to think. Space to be.

Phone off. Away from the crowds.

Thoughts wandering, roaming, gently probing.

#Venezia 🇮🇹 S.L. station in the early 2000s: a #Trenitalia #FS Class E.646 electric is hauling a regional service composed of bi-level cars. In a few moments the train will start crossing the Ponte della Libertà to the mainland, across the lagoon. The name of the bridge is a reference to the end of the Fascist dictatorship in Italy and of the Nazi occupation in 1945.
