| Beschrijving voorzijde | Saint Mark, patron of Venice, stands at left in flowing robes, presenting a staff surmounted by a cross to the kneeling Doge Francesco Loredan at right; the Doge is depicted in ducal regalia in a posture of reverence and submission. The name of the Doge appears in a vertical Latin legend between the two figures. The composition follows the classic Venetine zecchino iconographic tradition, rendered in high relief on a flan of characteristic irregular shape. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Francesco Loredan served as Doge from 1752 to 1762, a period of uncomfortable neutrality as Venice watched the Seven Years' War reshape European power around it. The quarter zecchino was a fractional denomination minted in very small quantities relative to the full zecchino, intended primarily for fine transactions and gift-giving rather than everyday commerce — by the mid-eighteenth century, the Republic's commercial reach had contracted sharply from its medieval peak.
Venice's near-.999 gold standard for zecchino coinage had been maintained with unusual consistency since the thirteenth century, a monetary discipline that made the series trusted across the Levant long after Venetian political influence had faded.
