| Obverse description | St. Mark, depicted standing at left in full-length robes, presents a staff surmounted by a cross to the kneeling Doge Nicolò Sagredo at right, who receives it in a gesture of submission and investiture. The word DVX appears vertically in the central field between the two figures, emphasizing the doge's title. The surrounding legend names the doge and invokes St. Mark as patron of Venice. The composition follows the long-established Venetian zecchino type, rendered in the characteristic flat, linear style of late medieval Venetian die-cutting. |

| Reverse description | A full-length, facing figure of Christ stands in a mandorla formed by a beaded oval border lined with six-pointed stars, raising His right hand in benediction and holding the Gospels in His left. The nimbus surrounds His head, and the overall composition conveys a hieratic, Byzantine-influenced solemnity consistent with the traditional Venetian zecchino reverse design. The circular legend, divided across the upper and lower fields, carries the votive inscription invoking Christ as ruler. The beaded ellipse and star-studded surround are rendered with careful regularity typical of the Venetian mint's long-standing workshop tradition. |
