| Beschrijving voorzijde | St. Mark, nimbed and seated facing left, extends a processional staff surmounted by a cross toward the kneeling Doge at right, who receives it in an act of investiture. The name of the Doge, PAVL RAINERIVS, is inscribed vertically between the two figures, flanked by the abbreviated Venetian titles L R and B. The legend S·M·V· at left identifies Saint Mark as patron of Venice. The composition follows the long-established Venetian ducal type, rendered with fine Gothic-influenced detail characteristic of late Republic coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Paolo Renier served as the second-to-last Doge of Venice, elected in 1779 under a Republic already hollowing out from within — the treasury strained, the mainland territories ungovernable, the navy a shadow of its former reach. This piece was struck in gold as a pattern against the standard silver production of KM#700, almost certainly at the behest of the mint's own assayers or a senior official seeking approval of a proposed composition change that never advanced.
Pattern strikes of this type rarely left official channels. The .999 fineness points to a presentation or test piece rather than anything intended for circulation trials.
