About This Book

The work presents a systematic illustrated catalogue and historical commentary on the Oselle, the series of ceremonial medals issued annually by Venice's doges to nobles. It examines their iconography and inscriptions, links individual designs to notable events where possible, and follows the series from its institution to the end of the aristocratic regime. The author situates the medals within broader numismatic collections and scholarship, notes related municipal coinage such as that of Murano, and provides plates and interpretive notes to aid attribution and historical understanding.
