| Reverse description | A facing Lion of St. Mark, passant guardant, is depicted within a large ornate heraldic shield of baroque form, flanked by decorative scrollwork. The numeral '70', denoting the coin's value in soldi, appears prominently in the exergue below the shield. The circumferential legend in Latin invokes Saint Mark as patron of Venice. |
