| Reverse description | The Doge Giovanni Corner I is depicted kneeling in prayer before a draped altar, wearing full ceremonial ducal robes and the corno ducale. The scene is rendered in high relief in the Venetian baroque manner. A partial floral motif, referencing the biblical inscription, appears in the field. The Latin legend encircling the design is drawn from the Song of Solomon (2:12), reading 'FLORES APPARVER IN TERRA NOS', while the date of the Doge's reign year appears in the lower exergue as 'ANNO IIII', indicating the fourth year of his dogeship. |
