[QUOTE="alde, post: 2967756, member: 6043"]I found a match on VCoins. I now see it's a simple matter of reading the legend and finding the Duke. I picked this up off of the infamous auction site that will not be named but from a reputable dealer. It was just sold as a Venice Grosso 1278 -1280 AD. I have looked at a couple of hundred of these things on line and do see differences but can't find a reference that tells me what it all means. [ATTACH=full]727558[/ATTACH] VENICE.[B]Ranieri Zeno [/B]1253-1268.AR.Grosso. ( 2.07g, 21.3mm, 6h) [B]IC-XC,[/B] nimbate Christ enthroned holding book of gospels. Reverse.[B]•RA• GENO• D/V/X - S.M.VENETI•[/B], Doge standing left holding banner, Saint Mark, nimbate, standing right holding book of gospels. Ref:CNI VI pg.35.1.[/QUOTE]
