1 Marcello - Giovanni Mocenigo

The marcello was introduced under Pietro Mocenigo in the mid-1470s as Venice scrambled to produce a reliable mid-denomination silver coin capable of competing with the testoon coinage spreading across northern Italian states. Giovanni Mocenigo, who succeeded his cousin in 1478, continued the issue essentially unchanged — one of the few Venetian doges of this period whose coinage saw no significant modification to the type during his tenure.

Paolucci distinguishes only a single variety for this reign, suggesting tightly controlled production across the seven-year period.
