DirtyHarry Valued Member Germany 141 Posts	Posted 05/11/2017 3:30 pm Hi all! This is a venetian Grosso. 1,75 gr. around 20mm. size. Not quite in the best shape, sadly :) Can anyone help me narrowing down the period? Any further info is very much appreciated! Thanks a lot! Report this Post to the Staff

This may suggest "LA TEVPLO" ("LO" ligate), part of the legend for Lorenzo Tiepolo, 1268 - 1275. Edited by Kamnaskires 05/11/2017 3:38 pm Report this Post to the Staff
