| Reverse description | The Lion of St. Mark strides to the left in the characteristic Venetian manner, his head turned frontally to face the viewer, with his left forepaw resting upon an open Gospel book. Above and to the right, a castle atop a hill rises in the field, serving as a heraldic or territorial emblem. The circumscribed legend QVAR·DVCAT·VENET· identifies the denomination as a quarter Venetian ducat. The composition adheres closely to the established Venetian lion type used on ducal coinage of the eighteenth century, rendered with precise relief appropriate to an off-metal trial or pattern striking. |
