Additional information

Alessandro I Pico ruled Mirandola during one of the most precarious stretches in the duchy's existence, caught between the ambitions of the Este family and the grinding pressure of the Thirty Years' War reshaping northern Italian power dynamics. The fiorino denomination itself was an assertion of local monetary independence for a territory that, at barely a few square kilometers, had no business minting silver coinage by any practical measure — yet did so continuously across Alessandro's two-decade reign.

MIR 587 is among the more traceable issues from this series, though die workmanship across the type varies considerably by emission year.
