| Reverse description | A full-length facing figure of Christ stands in a hieratic, frontal pose, robed and nimbed, with right hand raised in benediction and left hand holding a closed book of the Gospels. The figure is rendered in a stylized Byzantine-influenced manner typical of Venetian billon coinage of the period. The peripheral legend identifies Christ as the defender of the Venetian state, framed within a beaded border. |
