| Additional information |
Correggio's joint rule by Gilbert, Camille, and Fabrice — three brothers governing simultaneously under imperial fief — was itself a constitutional curiosity of the late Italian Renaissance, and the anonymous nature of this issue reflects the political awkwardness of striking coinage without privileging any single claimant. The MIR 122 type is among the more frequently misattributed sesini from the Po Valley, often confused with Milanese subsidiary coinage by less attentive catalogers.
The county was absorbed by the Este of Modena in 1635, ending nearly three centuries of Correggio autonomy.
