| Obverse description | Allegorical draped bust of the Republic of Venice facing right, personified as a regal female figure wearing a ducal tiara and an ermine-trimmed dogal robe. The effigy is rendered in high relief with fine classical detail. The encircling legend RESPUBLICA VENETA runs along the periphery, terminating with a decorative arabesque ornament. The field surrounding the bust is smooth and deeply struck, characteristic of a presentation or pattern striking. |
