Title: This afternoons find could anyone i.d. please Post by: hedgehog on December 06, 2008, 04:38:42 PM I think it's papal states, but that is as far as my knowledge goes! Dunno what the papal states were or the date that they were in circulation . looks like the pope on the one side kneeling down in front of God, on the other one person walking, I would appreciate a lesson on these coins , thanks in advance. ???

This one was issued for Doge Leonardo Lauredan 1501-1521. See this link for loads of info:
