1/2 Giulio - Leo X

Pesaro passed to direct papal administration in 1513 when Giovanni di Sforza died without legitimate heirs, reverting the vicariate to Leo X just months after his own election. These small silver issues were struck under that brief window of papal municipal control before the city's political status shifted again — a narrow circumstance that makes the type historically specific rather than merely regionally so. The multiple CNI references suggest at least five die marriages recorded for this denomination alone.
