| Beschrijving voorzijde | Heraldic eagle displayed with wings spread and head turned to the right, rendered in fine detail with individually engraved feathers, occupying the central field within a beaded inner circle. The bird, the so-called aquila giving this grosso its popular name 'Aquilino', is depicted in a bold, gothic heraldic style characteristic of late-medieval north Italian coinage. A Latin legend in uncial characters surrounds the eagle between the beaded inner circle and the toothed outer border, reading FR D GONZAGA, interrupted by floral rosette stops. The flan is irregular in shape, as typical of hand-struck hammered coinage of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Francesco I Gonzaga ruled Mantua as Captain-General rather than Duke — the title of Duke wouldn't come to the family until Gian Francesco received it from Emperor Sigismund in 1433. The *grosso aquilino* type takes its name from the eagle (*aquila*) borrowed from Imperial iconography, a deliberate signal of alignment with the Holy Roman Empire at a moment when northern Italian lords were maneuvering carefully between imperial and papal factions.
MIR LOM 377 is among the thinner-documented issues of the Gonzaga mint, with no firm surviving mintage figures.
