| Beschrijving keerzijde | A full-length facing figure of St. Justina stands in the central field, depicted in long flowing robes, holding a palm branch of martyrdom in her right hand and a closed book in her left. In the background, to either side of the saint, maritime vignettes are visible on the horizon: a ship at sea to one side and a rocky island to the other, evoking Venice's dominion over the Adriatic. The numeral '124', indicating the coin's value in soldi, is inscribed in the exergue. The surrounding Latin legend reads MEMOR·ERO·TVI·IVSTINA·VIRGO. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Lodovico Manin was elected Doge in 1789 — the same year France descended into revolution — and would prove to be Venice's last. Eight years after this coin was struck, Napoleon's ultimatum forced Manin to abdicate, dissolving a republic that had endured over a thousand years. By contemporary accounts, he wept when removing the ducal bonnet, handing it to his servant with the words that he would not be needing it again.
The ducatone denomination had been a Venetian monetary staple since the sixteenth century, widely accepted across Adriatic and Levantine trade networks. This 1789 issue is among the final emissions of a sovereign Venetian mint.
