| Reverse description | A detailed depiction of the Bucintoro, the historic ceremonial state galley of the Doge of Venice, is shown sailing on the waters of the Venetian lagoon, with the characteristic Venice skyline featuring domes and campaniles rendered in low relief along the horizon. A decorative wave-scroll ornament separates the ship's image from the legend above. The inscription IL BUCINTORO arcs prominently along the upper periphery, and the date 2001 appears in the lower exergue. |
