Title
Medieval coin : soldino of Doge Michael Steno
Description
English: A medieval soldino of Doge Michael (Michele) Steno (1400-13), mint of Venice.

Obverse: MICHAEL-STEN.DVX; Doge standing left, holding banner, star above indeterminate symbol (perhaps F or A) in right field (mintmark).
Reverse: *.S.MARCVS.VENETI.; Winged and nimbate Lion of St. Mark within circle, holding book of Gospels.

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.
