Reverse description Central field displays a cross pattée within a raised inner circle, flanked in the outer field by four smaller crosses pattées disposed in the cardinal positions, mirroring the obverse layout. The peripheral legend reads S MARCVS, invoking Saint Mark, patron of Venice, introduced by a cross and separated by pellets. The overall design reflects the standardized Venetian denier type of the Malipiero dogeship, with the flan showing the typical irregular shape and uneven metal distribution of hammered coinage.
