| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central device depicts the winged Lion of Saint Mark passant, shown in left profile within a beaded inner circle, resting its forepaw upon an open Gospel book. The lion's wings are rendered with fine feather detail characteristic of Venetian hammered coinage. The surrounding Latin legend PAX TIBI MARCE EVANG MEVS — the traditional salutation of the Evangelist — runs along the outer border between two beaded circles, partially interrupted by the irregular flan edge. |

The gazzetta — from which the word "gazette" derives, via the practice of paying one coin for a printed news sheet — was a Venetian denomination so embedded in daily commercial life that its name outlasted the Republic itself by centuries. This two-gazzette piece circulated through one of Europe's most active trading ports across a span touching both the loss of Cyprus to the Ottomans in 1571 and the War of the Spanish Succession.
The extraordinary 152-year emission window reflects Venice's conservative monetary policy: the Senate repeatedly resisted recoinage even as silver content eroded across rival Italian issues.
