It was [[Mint (money)|mint]]ed and issued by the [[Republic of Venice]] from the 13th century onwards. The design of the Venetian gold [[ducat]], or ''{{lang|it|zecchino}}'', was unchanged for over 500 years. It was issued from 1284 until the takeover of Venice by [[Napoleon]] in 1797. No other coin design has ever been produced for such a long time. == References == {{reflist}} [[Category:Coins]]
