| Obverse description | Saint Mark, enthroned and facing left, extends a staff bearing a cross and pennant toward the kneeling Doge Alvise Contarini at right, who receives the standard in an act of investiture. The scene is rendered in the traditional Venetian ceremonial style, with the figures occupying the full field. The mintmaster's initials appear in the exergue below the composition. The surrounding legend identifies the Doge by name and title. |
