From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sequin (zecchino in Italian) is a gold coin weighed 3.5 grams of .986 pure gold, minted by the Republic of Venice in 1284.
Initially called ducat, it was called the zecchino after the name of the Venetian mint, the "zecca", since 1543 when Venice began minting a silver coin also called a ducat.
