| 正面描述 | The obverse depicts Saint Mark the Evangelist standing facing, robed in flowing drapery, extending a gonfalon (banner staff) toward the kneeling figure of Doge Tommaso Mocenigo at right, who is shown in ducal robes with his characteristic horned cap. Between the two figures, a decorative element divides the central field. The composition closely follows the canonical Venetian ducat design, with both figures rendered in the Gothic hammered style typical of early fifteenth-century Venetian coinage. A Latin legend in uncial characters runs along the outer beaded border, reading TOM MOCEMIG DVX S M VEMETIO. |

Thomas Mocenigo was Doge of Venice from 1414 to 1423, yet this ducat was struck not by Venice but by the Genoese-administered Lordship of Chios — one of several Aegean colonies that produced imitative Venetian ducats to facilitate trade in eastern Mediterranean markets where the genuine article commanded near-universal acceptance. The Maona di Chio, the Genoese merchant consortium controlling the island, found it commercially essential to issue coinage indistinguishable in weight and fineness from the Venetian prototype.
Venice periodically protested such imitations, with limited diplomatic effect. The practice continued well past the fall of Chios to the Ottomans in 1566.
