    Oddly, this is the third Venetian soldo I've come across in the last couple years.
    This one's probably in the best shape of the three, but still pretty worn.
    Ob: Doge kneeling before winged Lion of St. Mark, *12* (12 Bagattini = 1 Soldo)
    Rev: Christ holding gospels with halo and raised hand, "DEFENS..NOSTER"

    Neat. I stumbled across one myself, a few years ago.

    I like them all but your new one the best.

    Never heard of them but would be interested in acquiring one maybe.
