A very worn and incomplete silver Venetian soldino, possibly of Doge Francesco Foscari, c.1423-1457 AD. A close attribution to Foscari is problematic due to the preservation of the coin, however it finds parallels in the two other examples of soldini issued by Francesco Foscari that have to date been recorded through the PAS (WMID-9A8817 and BH-679308).
