| Beschrijving voorzijde | Plain Latin cross centered within a beaded or linear inner circle, occupying the full field. The abbreviated ducal legend F F D V (Franciscus Foscari Dux Venetiarum) is distributed in the four quarters formed by the arms of the cross. The design is characteristic of the small billon coinage struck for Venetian-controlled Brescia, executed in the crude, flat-relief style typical of hammered piccoli of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Francesco Foscari's 34-year dogeship — the longest in Venetian history — was defined by relentless territorial expansion on the Italian mainland, the terraferma policy that brought Brescia firmly under Venetian control after 1426. The bagattino was the workhorse of small retail transactions in subject cities, and Brescia received its own localized issues precisely to smooth commerce in a newly absorbed population still accustomed to Visconti-era coinage.
Billon this light loses silver content rapidly in circulation; surviving examples are almost invariably base in surface color.
