Weight ,Diameter and Composition are similar to 6 Bagattini - Francesco Molin

Obverse: Half-length facing Madonna with Child on right, R. C. - L. A. arching from upper left to upper right, value '6' in exergue.

Reverse: Half-length facing figure of St. Mark with lettering  “sanctus marcus” which is where the problem arises. I have googled this coin but cant find the same combination of Obverse and Reverse .

Any ideas please.

I only collect Commonwealth coins.

Hello 🤖

 

Without pictures, it will be very difficult for anyone to help you. Could you please post clear pictures of each side of your item?

 

Please note that this is an automatic message. Feel free to ignore if it is not relevant.

Be careful Numista refers to Francesco Molin as ruler from 1646 to 1676, although there were actually several other rulers for these “Bezzo da 6 bagattini” :

Francesco Molin (1646-1655) 
Carlo Contarini (1655-1656)
Francesco Corner (1656)
Bertucci Valier (1656-1658)
Giovanni Pesaro (1658-1659)
Domenico Contarini (1659-1674)
Nicolò Sagredo (1675-1676)

Would anyone have a date and has anyone seen similar?

It could be this one, 6 Bagattini KM# 77 (not in our catalog):

 

I dont think it is that one as the MARC is at the bottom and it is up the right side on my coin.

As you can see on the lettering between brackets on the KM# 77, there are a lot of letter combinations possible for this coin. Yours has SANCTUS written in full, so MARC(VS) has to be further. The Krause picture has as legend only SAN so there is room for MARCUS on the bottom. So the placement of MARC(VS) doesn't rule out yours is KM# 77.
