| Beschrijving keerzijde | A full-length, facing figure of Christ in Majesty, robed and nimbed, stands within a beaded mandorla (ellipse) decorated with six-pointed stars. Christ raises his right hand in blessing and holds the Gospels in his left. The surrounding field carries the characteristic Venetian ducal legend in Latin, invoking Christ as the ruler for whom this ducat is struck. The overall design is rendered in the refined, hieratic style consistent with Venetian gold coinage of the mid-16th century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Lorenzo Priuli served as Doge from 1556 to 1559, a period when Venice was navigating the uneasy peace following the Italian Wars while simultaneously watching Ottoman pressure mount on its eastern trading network. The Venetian zecchino — minted at the Zecca beside the Piazza San Marco — maintained its .999 fineness with extraordinary consistency across centuries, a standard so reliable that the coin circulated as trusted currency from the Levant to the North Sea without discounting.
Priuli's reign lasted just three years before his death in office, making his issues among the shorter-series ducats of the sixteenth century.
