| Additional information |
Asti's gold scudi of this period were struck under Orléanist lordship following the inheritance of the city by Louis d'Orléans through his mother Valentina Visconti — a dynastic claim that drew Asti firmly into the orbit of French ambition in northern Italy decades before the Italian Wars formally began. The city functioned as a French bridgehead in Piedmont, and its mint output reflected that political dependency directly.
CNI II#3 places this among the earliest documented Orléanist strikes from the Asti mint. Surviving examples are genuinely scarce.
