Soldino of Michele Steno (1400 - 1413)

Today we uncovered a Soldino Steno. The English economy during the 15th and 16th centuries started using the Venetian Soldino to fill the gap as the halfpenny was in short supply.

The Soldino, which means "little shilling" entered the English economy through trade with the Venetian merchants, this coin quickly became widespread currency across England.
