1 Scudo - Napoleone Spinola

Ronco was a minuscule Imperial fief in Liguria held by the Spinola family, one of the great Genoese noble houses whose banking and military influence stretched across Habsburg Europe. The right to strike coinage was a jealously guarded privilege of their Imperial investiture, and the scudo issued under Napoleone Spinola in 1669 was less an instrument of commerce than a demonstration of jurisdictional status — a claim in silver that the family's feudal authority remained intact despite Genoa's contracting political world.

Davenport's census suggests output was extremely limited. Most surviving examples appear to have escaped serious circulation.
