increasing cost of silver in the international market. The change was

reverse design of the winged lion replacing the lion walking with banner.

Italian States-Venice, Antonio Venier as Doge (1382-1400), Grosso, Type Two,

Paolucci 37.2
Note: Stahl does not record a definitive name associated with a mintmaster
initial of I. I suspect it is Jacopo Contarini as the mintmaster mark is
normally the initial of the first name and Jacopo (spelled as Iacopo if
Latinized) would be the only listed candidate during the reign of Antonio
Venier and would also fall exactly at the end of the production of the
type two grosso.

Note: Stahl does not record a name associated with a mintmaster

which would support a hypothesis for using an R. Perhaps an engraver
error?

Notes from Paolucci: "On 11th January 1568 the Consiglio dei Dieci
resolved on the issue of pieces of 'quattro carci' (four carzie) intended
for Cyprus. No sources are known that would shed light on the striking of
two other new coins for Pietro Loredan: a quarter-zecchino and a new type
of soldino with a lily cross replacing that first struck by Pietro Lando.
There also exist two types of soldini with the figure of the doge in armor
which are almost certainly patterns."
