Reverse description A full-length frontal figure of Saint Justina of Padua stands in the central field, rendered in a formal, hieratic style. She holds a palm branch in one hand, symbolizing her martyrdom, and a book in the other, representing sacred scripture. In the background to either side of the saint, a ship at sea and a rocky island on the horizon evoke the maritime power and Adriatic dominion of the Venetian Republic. The numeral 62, denoting the denomination in soldi, appears in the exergue. The legend MEMOR·ERO·TVI·IVSTINA·VIR· encircles the design, invoking the saint with the words 'I shall be mindful of thee, Justina, virgin.'
