MartinezCoin New Member United States 26 Posts	Posted 09/16/2016 1:31 pm I have a gold ancient that I need help identifying. I've had a really hard time figuring out what coin this is and what a rough value is. If anyone could please help me with this I would greatly appreciate this. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

You have a ducat from Venice under Antonio Venier. The attribution is Biaggi 2853. Great coin!
