| Obverse description | Two standing figures face one another within a beaded inner circle. At left, the Doge Antonio Venier, shown in ducal robes and corno ducale, receives a gonfalon or banner staff from Saint Mark (San Marco), who stands at right with a nimbus and holds the vexillum. The abbreviated legend DVX appears between the figures in the central field. The arrangement follows the canonical Venetian grosso type, with the investiture scene rendered in the flat, stylised Byzantine-influenced manner characteristic of late-14th-century Venetian die-cutting. The circular legend runs between the inner beaded border and the outer toothed rim. |
