| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse depicts the winged Lion of Saint Mark passant, facing left, holding a pennant-topped staff (vexillum) in its right forepaw and resting its left forepaw on a shield bearing the arms of Venice; to the right, the kneeling figure of Doge Pasquale Cicogna is shown in ducal robes receiving the standard from the lion. The scene is set on a ground line with the denomination mark XL visible in the lower field. The entire composition is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with the circumscribed Latin legend S·M·VENETVS·PASC·CICON·DVX running along the outer border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Pasquale Cicogna served as Doge from 1585 to 1595, a tenure defined largely by Venice's increasingly precarious position between Ottoman naval pressure and the growing commercial dominance of northern European maritime powers. The ducato — distinct from the gold ducat of the same city — was Venice's principal large silver denomination, introduced to compete with the taler-weight coins flooding European trade routes from the Habsburg mints.
Cicogna's decade in office saw the completion of the Rialto Bridge in 1591, funded partly through forced loans levied on the merchant class whose transactions these very coins facilitated.
