Obverse description The iconic Lion of Saint Mark depicted in full profile, facing left, with large spread wings and a prominent halo encircling its head, resting its forepaw upon an open gospel book inscribed with the evangelical motto 'Pax tibi Marce, evangelista meus'. The design is enclosed within a raised inner circle, with the engraver's signature 'A. FABRIS F.' visible in the lower exergue. The outer legend reads 'REPUBBLICA VENETA' along the upper arc, flanked by stars, with the commemorative date '22 MARZO 1848' along the lower arc, all within a fine beaded border.
