| Additional information |
Tassarolo was among the smallest of the imperial fiefs in the Ligurian Apennines, a pocket territory that nonetheless exercised the right to strike coinage under Spinola family governance. Agostino Spinola held the county from 1604 until his death in 1616, and the scudo issues attributed to his rule span nearly that entire tenure. The CNI reference places this type firmly within a small body of known examples — Tassarolo's output was never substantial, and pieces attributable to this specific lord remain genuinely scarce rather than artificially so.
