zakmatt New Member United Kingdom 5 Posts	Posted 02/11/2013 6:37 pm My wife has inherited a collection of coins and I am looking through them. Some are obvious but there are a lot that I have no idea on even after doing internet research. Any help or input would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks Report this Post to the Staff

The winged lion in the bottom pic is the emblem of St Mark, who is named there as patron saint of the city (S.MARCV.VENETI). In the top pic, we see the doge, or ruler of Venice, standing holding a banner. His name would appear around it; it's hard to read on yours, but I believe it's the Latinized name of Antonio Venier (ruled 1382-1400). Compare your piece with this one on VCoins. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
