| Obverse description | Saint Mark standing at left, robed and nimbed, presenting a staff surmounted by a cross to the kneeling Doge at right; the inscription DVX appears vertically between the two figures. The legend naming the Doge runs along the outer border. The design follows the long-established Venetian zecchino tradition, rendered in fine relief characteristic of late Serenissima coinage. |

| Reverse description | Full-length frontal figure of Christ in Majesty, nimbed and robed, standing within a beaded mandorla (ellipse) bordered by six-pointed stars. Christ raises his right hand in benediction and holds the Gospels in his left. The devotional legend surrounding the mandorla is divided across the field, reading in the traditional Venetian zecchino formula. The composition is executed in the fine, formal Gothic style consistent with Venetian gold coinage of the period. |
