| Obverse description | Central field bearing a plain cross with a globule at each extremity, the whole enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding legend in Latin characters reads DS CONSERVA ROMANO IMP (Lord, protect our Roman Emperor), introduced by a cross pattée. The die work is characteristic of early Carolingian-influenced Venetian coinage, with rough, irregular flan typical of hammered production. |

| Reverse description | A stylized temple or church facade depicted with four base columns supporting a simple capital, a cross standing between the central columns. Above the temple, a second cross divides the encircling Latin legend. The architectural rendering is schematic and hieratic, reflecting the early medieval Venetian artistic tradition. The legend XPE SALVA VENECIAS (Christ save Venice) surrounds the design within the beaded border. |
