Not very familiar with these [modern] coins but the design reminds me of a Venice gold ducat... http://www.mcsearch.info/search.htm...n=1&de=1&fr=1&it=1&es=1&ol=1&sort=&c=&a=&l=#0
Yes, I believe that puts us in the general neighborhood. Venice, during the Renaissance. I can't find a match for this copper though...
