Chios. Imitative gold Ducat ND MS63 NGC, 3.48gm, cf. Ives Plate XI, cf. Paolucci-37.1 (for prototype). Struck in the name of Antonio Venier (1382-1400). A rather handsome and refined execution for this imitative type, all of the figures presented in a life-like style, notable when considering the rusty state of the dies, and with the legends still quite faithful to their prototype, save for some retrograde S's.
