Title
Medieval Coin: Venetian Soldino of Andrea Contarini
Description
English: An incomplete, bent and worn Medieval Venetian silver soldino of Andrea Contarini (1367-1382).

Obverse: + ANDR[ ]/TAR' DVX; Doge standing left, holding banner, mintmark in front (possibly 'F')


Reverse: + MARCVS VENETI; Winged and nimbate Lion of St. Mark holding book of Gospels, within circle


Diameter: 13.0mm. Weight: 0.35g. DA=12:1.


The silver soldino of Venice was known as the galyhalpens (galley-halfpence) as it was brought by the annual Venetian trading fleets. 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.
