| Reverse description | A detailed naval scene in the upper field depicts three sailing vessels engaging a rocky coastal fortification, with smaller craft visible at right, representing the Venetian assault on Napoli di Malvasia. Below the scene, a multi-line Latin inscription in the lower field records the reconquest of the fortress from Ottoman rule on 12 August 1690, crediting the valor of Doge Morosini and Captain-General Corner. The legend NEAPOLIS MALVASIAE arcs along the upper border. |
