Image Title: Portrait and Medal of Carlo Contarini

Description: A portrait of Venetian Doge Carlo Contarini (1580-1656), who reigned from 1655 to 1656. His coat of arms portrays an eagle with a fleur-de-lis on its belly.

The mintmaster, Franco Corner, has placed his initials at the bottom of the obverse.
