The Tizzoni are known to have struck Batzen-type coinage. Maybe an unpublished type?

The obverse legend (following Rentzmann, Numismatisches Legenden-Lexikon) is to be read:

ANTonius MARia TITio BLAn COMes DECiae VICarius IMperii PErpetuus

The only sources in the web dealing with coins from the Tizzoni, struck in Dezana, are written in French and German:

http://www.archive.org/stream/revuebelg ... t_djvu.txt

http://www.archive.org/stream/numismati ... t_djvu.txt

Use for your search on these pages the word "Dezana"

The mint, however, eventually seems to be Dezana.

Hello!

I think this was "golden" coin of Desana before, a Fiorino, Type II, which should have 3.3 g gold and would be RRRRR.

As I am quite sure, you will find nothing more in the internet, you should consult printed literature:
Gamberini di Scarfea, C.:Les imitazioni e les contraffazioni monetarie nel mondo.
I don't have it at hand, otherwise I would have looked.

If you search google with
"ANT MAR TIT"
you will find appropriate links to Desana-coins in coinarchives

Kind regards
