Thông tin bổ sung	Italy's ECU-denominated issues of the early 1990s were never legal tender — they were produced specifically for the collector market ahead of European monetary unification, trading on prestige rather than purchasing power. Vivaldi was selected as part of a broader cultural series that leaned heavily on composers and artists to make the case for Italy's centrality to European civilization, a soft-power argument dressed up as numismatics. Vivaldi died in Vienna in 1741, largely forgotten and nearly bankrupt, having sold manuscripts to fund his final journey north.
