this doesn't appear to be anything but a machine pressed copy? I am no expert on Venetian coinage but this just doesn't look kosher.

I am still trying to find more information about this coin but I have found a similar one on the web.

This looks to be a coin of Alvise Mocenigo IV, 1763 - 1779.

Here is another one.

I am a little worried about the style of the arms and the bright yellow-orange color of the coin.  The color is off from the pale yellow that most have, but this could be caused by the lighting while photographing.
