| Obverse description | To the left, the winged Lion of St. Mark stands in profile; to the right, the Doge Pietro Grimani kneels in a posture of devotion, holding a staff surmounted by a cross and pennant. The two figures are separated by a narrow field, with the denomination numeral 12 appearing in the exergue below. The surrounding legend identifies the Doge by name and title in abbreviated Latin. The design is rendered in the crude, flat relief typical of Venetian billon coinage of the mid-eighteenth century. |

| Obverse lettering | S M V PET GRIM D 12 (Translation: Saint Mark of Venice, Pietro Grimani, Doge 12 Bagattini) |
| Reverse description | A full-length frontal figure of Christ stands at center, robed and nimbed, holding an open book in His left hand while raising His right hand in a gesture of benediction. The figure is rendered in a hieratic, Byzantine-influenced style consistent with Venetian devotional iconography. The surrounding legend, interrupted by decorative stops, invokes Christ as the protector of the Republic. The field is plain, with no additional decorative elements. |
