Description: A portrait of Venetian Doge Giovanni Pesaro (1589-1659), who reigned from 1658 to 1659.

The reverse depicts Religion (left) as a woman bearing a cross on her right should and holding a censer in her left, along with Constancy (right), a man propping up a spear in his left hand and pointing upward with his right.
