Perhaps Jacopo Contarini or Pietro Ziani? Look at https://en.numista.com/catalogue/in...w=&mt=&u=&g= Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16805 Posts	Posted 12/22/2025 06:27 am Definitely a Contarini surname. 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
NumiFan Valued Member Poland 136 Posts	Posted 12/22/2025 2:39 pm Thank you both for the verification. I've just examined it again and I wonder why Jacopo Contarini's name is in the form of " IA • 9TARIN ". Why is there a ' 9 ' digit? Report this Post to the Staff

Why is there a ' 9 ' digit? It's a kind of shorthand. And the first post in this thread has a nice example with full legend: https://goccf.com/t/485605 Edited by tdziemia 12/23/2025 07:25 am Report this Post to the Staff
