So I'm thinking Serbian (in the Venetian style), rather than Venetian proper. The second coin down on this BeastCoins page looks like a good match: King Stephen Uros II. Once you know what it says, you can read the left-side legend as "VROSIVS". 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

Many coins got imitated in one form or another over the centuries. To give you two other examples: There are many issues which copy the English cross penny, those are known as Sterlings. And the coinage from Tours was extensively copied in the middle ages, both the Grossus and the Double de Tournois. Your coin is as 'Sap' showed an AR Denar (Matapan) of King Stefan II Milutin (1282-1321). Report this Post to the Staff
