    Hey guys
    I got this coin from a guy who said it was medieval italian, probably Venice, 13th to 15th century.
    it is vague but a step nonetheless. I would like to find at least some referrence to it so i can label it and add it to the collection.
    any of you have any idea ? Thanks for the help.

    i don't know, i wouldn't guess venetian. they don't have many coins with large cross. could be wrong. i can't make out the obverse, i think i see a nimbate head.

    Does look like a Venetian Tornesello of around 1500.
    One side shows cross with name of issuing doge around (unfortunately unreadable)
    Other side shows nimbate lion of St Marc holding gospel.
