Soldino Publique Deposited
The diminutive of Soldo (q.v.). A small Venetian base silver coin of the fourteenth century, which type was later copied in other parts of Italy. The Soldino Vessillifero receives its name from the standard held by the lion on the reverse of the coin. It was introduced about the time of Doge Giovanni Gradenigo (1355-1356) and continued in use for nearly a century.
