| 正面描述 | The coat of arms of Venice appears at the top center, with that of Milan at the bottom center, flanking the central text panel bearing the denomination and issuing authority. An embossed dry seal at lower left incorporates the winged Lion of St. Mark, the heraldic symbol of the Venetian Republic, surrounded by the bank's legend. The note is set within an ornate guilloche border typical of mid-nineteenth-century Italian patriotic emergency issues. |

| 背面描述 | The reverse shows the show-through of the obverse guilloche underprint and central denomination panel visible in mirror image through the thin paper stock, with an embossed dry seal at lower left bearing the winged Lion of St. Mark encircled by the issuing authority's legend and the date 1848. The remainder of the surface is otherwise unprinted, consistent with the emergency wartime production of this patriotic note. |

The Governo Provvisorio di Venezia issued this note during the 1848–49 revolution against Austrian rule — the same uprising that saw Daniele Manin declare the restored Republic of San Marco in March 1848. Venice held out longer than any other revolutionary government in Italy that year, enduring an Austrian siege and aerial bombardment before finally capitulating in August 1849. These notes were a fiscal improvisation to keep the provisional administration solvent through the blockade.
The embossed seal served as the primary authentication device, reflecting both the limited security printing infrastructure available in besieged Venice and the urgency of production. Austrian forces did not recognize the notes' validity upon reconquest.
