Post-Ancient Newp

coffeyce

I rarely deal anything with ancients as I have almost no knowledge with them. But I saw this piece and decided to buy it. I hadn't bought anything for a while.

I believe its a 1252-1268 Silver Grosso 20.2mm 2.06g bearing Doge (governor) Zeno with St. Mark on the obverse and Christ seated on a throne on the reverse.

It looked like it had good detail and minimal wear from what I can tell.

Any thoughts or comments are welcomed since this is a new side of my coin collecting.

Cool coin, but I wouldn't classify it as "ancient"...

Very cool and I like them as I see Star Wars characters when I glance at them. The only issue with hammer struck coinage is when trying to photograph it's so thin it's hard to pick up and turn over. Definitely struck for a time period when folks didn't cut their finger nails.
