| Obverse description | The Doge Francesco Foscari depicted full-length, standing facing left, wearing the traditional ducal robes and the corno ducale, rendered in the flat, stylized Gothic manner typical of Venetian hammered coinage. The figure holds what appears to be a sceptre or staff, with drapery folds indicated by linear engraving. The legend FRA • FOSCARI • DVX • runs around the periphery within a beaded border, naming the reigning Doge. |
