| Obverse description | Central device depicts the Lion of Saint Mark facing forward, shown en face, holding an upright sword in one paw and an open gospel book in the other. The lion is rendered in a stylized heraldic manner characteristic of Venetian colonial coinage. The denomination numeral 'II' appears in the exergue below the lion. A circular legend surrounds the device, reading SANCT MARC VEN, identifying the issuing authority as Saint Mark's Venice. |
