| Reverse description | The enthroned Doge in ducal robes and corno is seated centrally, holding a sceptre, while five crowned female allegorical figures — representing Venice's maritime dominions, identified by inscriptions including CANDIA, NEGROPONTE, CYPRUS, ATHENS, and CREA — pay homage from the surrounding waters; ships appear in the background. The circumferential Latin legend reads along the upper border of the field. |
