So far, all the ancient coins have proven to be legitimate with no fakes, but this one seems a bit shiny to me? The holder says Venice 1382-1400, Antonio Ventero (possibly Veniero) AR Grosso, Tyoe II, + over Dofe's Cap Any thoughts would be appreciated Report this Post to the Staff

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 11/06/2015 5:18 pm I believe it's actually Antonio "Venier," not Ventero. Obv (your bottom pic): ANTO . VENERIO-. S . M . VENETI. St. Mark and the Doge standing facing, holding pendant flag between them, D / V / X in center field Rev: Christ, nimbate, enthroned facing, holding book of Gospels * \| P across fields I think it looks okay, although over cleaned.

paul27613 Valued Member United States 152 Posts	Posted 11/08/2015 11:33 pm Excellent example of the Venetian grosso! The first grosso was made in 1192 AD if I recall correctly and maintained the same symbolism for 3 or 4 hundred years. The prices of grossos has steadily increased and a really nice example like yours will sell for over 200$ easily. One of the better (and maybe only) reference books on the Venetian grosso is a hardcover book by Paolucci. More specifically: Paolucci, R. Le Monete Dei Dogi Di Venezia - The Coinage of the Doges of Venice, 2nd Edition. (Padova, 2001). Great coin, thanks for sharing! Report this Post to the Staff
