The Osella is a coin / medal which was minted each year by the Mint of Venice and which the Doge donated to the personalities of the Republic. Here is our lost wax reproduction in 925 silver replica gold plating in a very limited series of the saddle made by Doge Paolo Renier in 1787 – The Doge, traditionally, in December of each year, gave five noble ducks to the nobles of the Maggior Consiglio. In 1521 the council, due to the war that prevented hunting, decreed that instead of the birds a coin was given which was therefore called “osella” by the Venetian oseło, just bird … The reproduced osella has a diameter of 3 cm – Description: Lion striding to right, mintmaster’s initials in exergue.
