The central composition parallels the main face of the famous gold coin, a ducat, of the Venetian Doge Giovanni Dandolo minted in 1288-1289. Unlike the coin, the medallion is neither struck or diecast; it is tooled and chased, making it one of a kind. --- RELATED WORKS --- CITATIONS --- IMAGES web: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1985.61/1985.61_web.jpg print: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1985.61/1985.61_print.jpg full: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1985.61/1985.61_full.tif
