| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped bust of Antonio Tolomeo Trivulzio Gallio facing right, wearing a voluminous curled wig rendered in fine relief with flowing locks cascading over the shoulders. The portrait is executed in a bold baroque style with high relief modeling of the facial features. A circular legend in Latin surrounds the effigy, reading ANT. PTOLOM. TRIVULTIUS along the upper arc. The rim is defined by a plain inner border adjacent to a reeded edge. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Retegno was among the smallest of the Imperial fiefs in Lombardy, and the Trivulzio Gallio family's right to strike coin was more a matter of inherited privilege than economic necessity. By 1726, such petty princely minting was already an anachronism — the major Italian states had long consolidated monetary production, and issues like this one circulated in negligible quantities, functioning more as demonstrations of seigneurial status than as working currency.
Antonio Tolomeo held the title through the Gallio line, which had absorbed the Trivulzio name through inheritance. The hyphenated dynastic surname itself signals the genealogical contortions required to keep a moribund fief legally productive.
