| Beschrijving keerzijde | The standing nimbed figure of Santa Giustina (Saint Justina), patroness of Venice, occupies the central field, depicted facing front with a halo, holding a palm frond in her left hand and a sword in her right, with a crown at her feet to either side and two warships visible in the background sea, alluding to the Battle of Lepanto. The denomination numeral 62 appears in the lower exergue flanked by ornamental rosettes. The circumferential Latin legend MEMOR·ERO·TVI·IVSTINA·VIR· encircles the design within a beaded border, translating as 'I shall be mindful of thee, O Virgin Justina.' |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Lodovico Manin, elected Doge in 1789, would prove to be Venice's last. Eight years after this coin was struck, he handed his ducal bonnet to his servant and surrendered the Republic to Napoleon without resistance — ending over a thousand years of continuous Venetian statehood. Whether that capitulation reflected pragmatism or cowardice remains debated. The half ducatone series had been a workhorse of Adriatic commercial settlement for generations, its high silver fineness trusted across Mediterranean trading networks well beyond Venetian territorial control.
