popsicles1000 New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 04/27/2018 06:49 am Hello, I have recently received this coin from my mother who said that she actually found it while in Greece, and this would have been at least 40 years ago. I know absolutely nothing of the coin or what any of the writing means. It would be so greatly appreciated if anyone could help decipher if they happen to know anything whatsoever. Many thanks in advance.... Report this Post to the Staff

popsicles1000 New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 04/27/2018 07:04 am Upon further investigation, I found out the markings just by typing them into google and finding the exact same thing on ebay. It is actually "VENICE GREECE DALMA ET ALBAN COPPER GAZZETTA 2 SOLDI TWO".... Other than that, I know not a thing! Thank you Report this Post to the Staff
tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7963 Posts	Posted 04/27/2018 07:25 am It appears to be a coin of Dalmatia while under the rule of Venice (because one side has an image of Saint Mark), not an ancient Greek or Roman ooin. Someone will figure out the exact details in a little while. Report this Post to the Staff
