| Obverse description | Facing mitred bust of Saint Quirinus, Bishop and patron of Correggio, rendered in a crude hammered style characteristic of small billon coinage of the period. The effigy is shown frontally, wearing a mitre and episcopal vestments, occupying the central field. A circular Latin legend is disposed around the bust, enclosed within a beaded border. |

| Additional information |
The joint rule of Gilbert, Camille, and Fabrice of Correggio during the 1570s represented an awkward tripartite inheritance of a lordship already diminished by Habsburg pressure. Small billon issues like this quattrino circulated anonymously — no individual count's name appears — almost certainly to avoid forcing a political resolution to a fractious co-regency that none of the three brothers had the leverage to dominate.
