There are several nice free books on Venetian coins that are available including:

Corpus Nummorum Italicorum, Volume VII at http://www.numismaticadellostato.it/web/pns/iuno-moneta/biblioteca/corpus

Paolucci's 1st edition of The Coinage of the Doges of Venice at http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/subject/7478

Note that there are NO images on Paolucci's gutenberg edition, but you can download the actual book with plates from Google at https://books.google.com/books?id=P0dmAAAAMAAJ

So, go ahead and try to help yourself as I can't make out the coin. The picture is somewhat poor...

Thank you!

This is the best scan I could take, I think the coin is in poor condition not the scan!
