    Italian, Venice XF-40 I believe. The second photo shows the rotation as compared to the front.

    That coin was issued by Bartolemeo Gradenigo (GRADOMICO on the obverse from 8 to 10 o'clock), AD 1339 to 1342.

    Thanks John. I did the best I could and I appreciate the correction. It’s older than I thought. That’s nice. :)

    That's a nice one @Collecting Nut
    I picked up one earlier this year that was your coin's predecessor, though not as nice as yours:
