Reverse description A full-length, facing figure of Saint Justina is rendered at center, holding a palm branch in one hand as a symbol of martyrdom and a book in the other, in the style of Venetian baroque devotional imagery. To either side of the saint, the background opens onto a maritime panorama featuring a sailing vessel at sea and a rocky island silhouetted on the horizon, referencing the naval context of the Venetian state. The numeral 124, denoting the coin's value in soldi, appears prominently in the exergue. The surrounding Latin legend MEMOR·ERO·TVI·IVSTINA·VIR is inscribed along the coin's periphery, invoking the saint's virgin martyrdom.
