Giovanni Gradenigo's dogeship lasted barely fourteen months before he died in office in August 1356, making his coinage among the shortest-issued in the grosso series. The type was struck against the backdrop of Venice's ongoing friction with Genoa — the prelude to the War of Chioggia was still two decades off, but Adriatic commercial rivalry was already reshaping mint priorities and silver supply chains through the mid-fourteenth century.
