| Obverse description | Two standing figures facing one another in Byzantine style: at left, the Doge Pietro Ziani in ducal robes, identified by the legend, receives a banner or gonfalon from St. Mark the Evangelist at right, who is depicted with a nimbus and holding a book of the Gospels. The word DVX appears in the field between the two figures. The surrounding circular legend reads + P ZIANI S M VENETI, identifying the doge and patron saint. The figures are rendered in the flat, hieratic manner characteristic of early Venetian coinage. |
