| Obverse description | The obverse features the winged Lion of Saint Mark in profile facing left, depicted in low relief with spread wings and holding the open Gospel book beneath its forepaw, rendered in a coarse, provincial style characteristic of Venetian colonial copper coinage. Small six-pointed stars are disposed around the central device, with a horizontal line separating the lower field. The abbreviated Latin legend S. MARC. VEN. (Sanctus Marcus Venetus) appears around the periphery, referencing the patron saint of the Venetian Republic. |
