| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped bust of Marquess Guglielmo IX Paleologo facing left, wearing a distinctive beret, set within a beaded inner circle. The portrait is rendered in a late-medieval Italian style, with fine detailing on the drapery of the shoulder. The peripheral legend in Latin runs around the outer border, separated from the central effigy by a raised rim. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Guglielmo IX ruled Montferrat for over two decades as a marquis perpetually caught between the competing pressures of France and Milan — his political survival depended on careful neutrality during the Italian Wars that erupted after Charles VIII's invasion of 1494. The cavallotto denomination itself was a northern Italian regional type, its name derived from the horse imagery traditional to the Paleologi of Montferrat, a dynasty that had held the marquisate since 1306 through a cadet branch of the Byzantine imperial family.
