Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

A silver medieval clipped soldino of Doge Antonio Venier dating to the period AD 1379-1421. Obverse Doge kneeling holding banner left, star in right field. Reverse type winged and nimbate lion of St Mark facing within a circle, holding book of gospels. Reverse legend reads S MARCVS VENETI.

The soldino was about the size of English halfpennies and was popular because of a contemporary lack of small change; soldini in fact occur as English finds more often than proper halfpennies of the period.
