| Reverse description | The reverse bears a five-line Latin inscription within an unbordered field, encircled by a finely engraved laurel wreath tied at the base. The text reads ALOYSII MOCENICI PRINCIPIS MUNUS AN X / 1772 / M·A·T·, recording this as the tenth-year gift (munus) of Doge Alvise Mocenigo IV, with the date 1772 and the magistrates' initials M·A·T· below. The wreath is rendered with careful attention to leaf and berry detail, consistent with high-quality Venetian die-cutting of the period. The outer border features a milled edge pattern. The overall composition is formal and epigraphic in character, typical of the osella tradition. |
