| Additional information |
The Marquisate of Incisa was a minor feudal holding in the Piedmontese Monferrato region, and its monetary output was modest enough that most surviving pieces turn up in hoards rather than individual finds. The "Tirolino" type takes its name from the Tyrolean groat — the grosso of Merano — which became a widely imitated silver standard across northern Italy and the Alpine foothills during the fourteenth century. Incisa's version belongs to a cluster of anonymous imitative issues whose attribution to specific lords remains contested among specialists.
The CNI references three die varieties within this type, suggesting at least intermittent production rather than a single short emission.
