| Reverse description | The reverse bears a six-line Latin inscription recording the name of the Doge, his princely title, and the regnal year (Anno IX) alongside the Gregorian date 1749. A ducal cap (corno ducale) is prominently displayed above the text block, serving as a symbol of the Doge's office. The entire composition is enclosed within an elaborate ornate floral wreath, a hallmark of Venetian osella design. The presentation is formal and heraldic, consistent with the commemorative nature of this annual ducal gift piece. |
