It should be a soldino of Michele Steno, you could compare it with different examples on the web, some of them are here, too (wrongly attributed to to Antonio Venier ;) ):

The coins are the one with weight and diameter (0.32g, 15.29mm) and the nearest soldino, on both of them you can read "MIC...".

The mint mark refers to a massaro (mint master) unknown to CNI, I don't know if Paolucci report his name.
