Obverse description	The obverse features the winged Lion of Saint Mark in profile facing left, depicted in low relief with spread wings and holding the open Gospel book beneath its forepaw, rendered in a coarse, provincial style characteristic of Venetian colonial copper coinage. Small six-pointed stars are disposed around the central device, with a horizontal line separating the lower field. The abbreviated Latin legend S. MARC. VEN. (Sanctus Marcus Venetus) appears around the periphery, referencing the patron saint of the Venetian Republic.

Reverse description	The reverse bears a bold all-capital Latin inscription arranged in three lines across the flat field, reading CORF. / 7 ANT. / GEF., indicating the island of Corfu (CORF.) as the place of issue, with additional administrative abbreviations denoting the Venetian provenance. The legends are struck in raised relief on a plain, unadorned ground. The simple typographic layout is typical of Venetian colonial soldi struck for circulation in the Ionian Islands, with no decorative border other than the coin's irregular periphery.
