Lombardo-Veneto Coin List

The Lombardo-Veneto Kingdom was a state in northern Italy under Austrian rule between 1815 and 1866. This period witnessed a fascinating numismatic history reflecting the complex political and economic situation of the region.

Lombard-Veneto Monetary System

The monetary system of the Lombardo-Veneto was based on the Austrian lira, which was divided into 100 centesimi. Coins minted during this period bore inscriptions in Italian and featured the Austrian double-headed eagle on the reverse. The most common denominations included the centesimo, soldo, lira and scudo. The Milan mint was primarily responsible for the production of these coins, although they were also minted in Venice. An interesting aspect of these coins was their duality: on the one hand, they represented Austrian authority, but on the other, they retained elements of Italian tradition, thus reflecting the complex relationship between Austrian rulers and the local population.
