1 Grosso - Gabriele

Gian Ludovico's son Gabriele ruled Saluzzo under conditions of persistent Franco-Imperial pressure — the marquisate sat directly astride the Alpine passes coveted by both Francis I and Charles V, and its coinage reflects the perpetual hedging of a small lordship trying to maintain independent monetary credibility. The grosso series under Gabriele continued the Saluzzo tradition of striking silver well above the debased standards of many neighboring Piedmontese lordships.

CNI II records only a handful of die combinations for this type, suggesting limited production across the eleven-year span.
