| Obverse description | St. Mark, patron saint of Venice, stands at left in flowing robes, presenting a staff surmounted by a cross to the kneeling Doge Francesco Loredan at right, who receives it in a gesture of investiture. The word DVX appears vertically in the field between the two figures, emphasizing the Doge's ducal title. The surrounding legend, rendered in Latin, identifies the Doge by name and invokes the authority of St. Mark and the Venetian state. The composition follows the highly standardized, hieratic style characteristic of Venetian zecchini, conveying divine legitimacy and republican tradition. |
