| Beschrijving voorzijde | Crowned double-headed imperial eagle displayed in the field, with wings spread, the breasts superimposed by a shield bearing the arms of Casale (Montferrat). The eagle is rendered in the characteristic late-medieval hammered style with finely detailed feathering. A Latin legend in Gothic characters encircles the design within a beaded border, reading MONETA AVRE B M MO FE Z VI PP S IMP. The overall composition reflects the marquises' claim to imperial dignity as vassals of the Holy Roman Empire. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Bonifacio IV ruled Montferrat under the long shadow of French and Imperial rivalry over northern Italy, a pressure that defined his entire marquisate. The scudo issue falls squarely within the Italian Wars, when Montferrat's strategic position between French-held Milan and the advancing Habsburgs made even minor dynastic coinages politically charged acts. Bonifacio died in 1530 without a male heir, extinguishing the Paleologo line in Montferrat after over two centuries — this coinage comes from the final chapter of that dynasty.
Fr#170 places it within a very small body of Montferrat gold. Surviving examples are rare by any measure.
