Plated or not, looks like an interesting find and worth at least a set of batteries. HH

Looks to be perfectly round on the egde, Not indicative of the hand struck pieces of the 17th century. Also, the E and T are too close together.

Could be a 19th century repro struck in silver!!!! regardless, its a great find....

Just tidying up some blasts from the past (including some very ancient ones), largely for the benefit of anyone searching the site for information.

That’s a modern copy of a Republic of Venice (Italian States) 2 soldi (1/10 lira) coin for Dalmatia and Albania. The original would be in copper, struck between 1691-1709. It has the winged lion for Saint Mark of Venice with his abbreviation on one side and then the abbreviations for Dalmatia and Albania on the other side.
