| Beschrijving keerzijde | The enthroned Madonna seated facing, holding the Christ Child on her lap, flanked on either side by stylised vine branches rising from the base of the field, an iconographic reference to the venerated image of the Madonna della Vittoria. The composition is enclosed by a circular Latin legend within a beaded border, the overall design reflecting the devotional imagery characteristic of Gonzaga-era Mantuan coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ferdinand Gonzaga ruled Mantua from 1612 after the death of his brother Francesco IV, having previously been a Cardinal — he formally renounced his ecclesiastical rank to assume the dukedom. His tenure coincided with the opening phase of the Thirty Years' War, and Mantua's position as an Imperial fief made navigating Habsburg expectations a constant political calculation. The duchy's gold ducat coinage of this period maintained the weight standard of the Venetian ducat, a deliberate monetary alignment that kept Mantuan gold acceptable across northern Italian trade networks.
Ferdinand died without legitimate heirs in 1626, triggering the War of the Mantuan Succession within four years.
