| Additional information |
The Correggio signoria issued anonymous billon coinage under the joint rule of Gilbert, Camille, and Fabrice — three brothers who governed the small Po Valley lordship after inheriting it from their father Girolamo following a partition. The "anonymous" attribution reflects a deliberate policy of suppressing individual names on coinage, a practice sometimes used to sidestep imperial minting privileges or to project collective legitimacy across a shared rulership.
Correggio's monetary output from this decade is poorly documented in most major collections, making CNI IX the primary reference for die identification across this type.
