Beschrijving keerzijde Full-length standing figure of Saint Geminianus, patron saint of Modena, depicted mitred and nimbate in episcopal vestments. The saint holds a crozier in his left hand and raises his right hand in benediction, with a stylized representation of a city — alluding to Modena — appearing in the lower background. The composition follows the conventional hagiographic iconography employed on Modenese coinage of the Este period, with the saint's name divided across the field in the surrounding Latin legend.

Aanvullende informatie

Cesare d'Este's reign began under a cloud: when Alfonso II died without legitimate heirs in 1597, Pope Clement VIII refused to recognize Cesare's succession and seized Ferrara, forcing the Este court to retreat permanently to Modena. The duchy's coinage from this period reflects a scramble to assert legitimate authority from a diminished capital, with small billon issues like this muraiola serving the everyday transactions of a court that had just lost its grandest city.
