1/2 Scudo - Antonio Priuli

正面描述	A large ornate baroque shield, surmounted by an elaborate foliated crown with scrollwork, occupies the central field. Within the shield, the facing Lion of Saint Mark is depicted with wings spread, set within an oval surround. The circumferential legend reads SANCTVS MARCVS VENET in Latin, separated by pellets, and the denomination numeral 70 appears in the exergue below the shield, flanked by small stars. The overall design is characteristic of late-Renaissance Venetian heraldic coinage, with fine detail in the shield's cartouche and mantling.

附加信息	Antonio Priuli served as Doge from 1618 until his death in 1623, his tenure shadowed by the Thirty Years' War and Venice's chronic anxiety over Ottoman pressure in the Adriatic. The half scudo denomination was a workhorse of Venetian commercial silver, circulating heavily through the Republic's trading networks across the eastern Mediterranean — which is precisely why survivors in anything above well-worn condition are genuinely uncommon. The .948 fineness is notably high for the period, a reflection of Venice's stubborn insistence on maintaining silver standards that had eroded badly in competing Italian states by the early seventeenth century.
