Title
Venitian Solidino
Description
English: A complete post-Medieval Venetian silver soldino of Doge Leonardo Loredan (1501-1521).

Obverse: Doge, as standard bearer of Venice, kneeling left, receiving the banner of St. Mark from the patron saint
Inscription: •LEO•LAV•DVX•S•M•V•
Reverse: Standing figure of Christ with halo, holding a cross
Inscription: •LAVS•TIBI•SOLI• (Thee alone be praised)

Measurements: Diameter: 11.91mm, thickness: 0.43mm, weight: 0.28g.

Discussion:The silver soldinos of Venice were known as the galyhalpens (galley-halfpence) as they were 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.
