| Obverse description | Central field displays the facade of the Palazzo Ducale (Doge's Palace) rendered in a highly stylized, flat relief typical of early Venetian medieval coinage, depicted as a crenellated building with two towers flanking a central arch. The architectural motif is enclosed within a plain inner circle surrounded by a beaded border. The peripheral legend, struck in Gothic Latin characters, reads: ✠ • MA • GEOR • DVX • V • N • C • E •, abbreviating the Doge's name and title. The overall die work is characteristic of the hammered billon coinage of early 14th-century Venice. |
