Venetian lira
The lira (plural lire) was the distinct currency of Venice until 1848, when it was replaced by the Italian lira. It originated from the Carolingian monetary system used in much of Western Europe since the 8th century CE, with the lira subdivided into 20 soldi, each of 12 denari.
A huge variety of coins were minted under their post-1750 currency system when the lira piccola contained 2.4 grams fine silver, with many coins having unique names as follows:[2][3]
The provisional government issued silver tolleros worth 10 lire piccoli in 1797. These were followed during the Austrian occupation by silver 1⁄2, 1, 11⁄2 and 2 lire provinciale worth much less than the lira piccola. Rejection of these coins led to the later issuance of the lira austriaca from 1815 to 1848.
