| Beschrijving keerzijde | The Lion of Saint Mark passant to the left, depicted in a stylized heraldic manner with the nimbus visible around the head, the body rendered in low relief consistent with the small hammered denomination. A groundline is suggested beneath the figure. The encircling Latin legend, partially legible on the irregular flan, references the Venetian motto invoking divine victory. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Francesco Venier's dogeship lasted barely two years, from 1554 to 1556, cutting short what had been a distinguished diplomatic career. The bezzo was a minor fiduciary denomination — its silver content deliberately kept low relative to face value — issued in quantity for small retail transactions in the Venetian markets and lagoon settlements. Paolucci's type I classification distinguishes this emission from later variants by specific die characteristics, though the extremely low weight means surviving pieces are almost invariably found bent, clipped, or with edge damage from casual handling.
