Historical Context: The 1 Testone of Alfonso I d'Este originates from the Duchy of Ferrara during a tumultuous period of the Italian Renaissance (1509-1522). Alfonso I, a formidable military leader and patron of the arts, navigated the complex politics of the Italian Wars, often clashing with the Papacy and Venice. This large silver coin served not only as a significant monetary instrument but also as a powerful symbol of the Este family's enduring sovereignty and economic strength amidst regional conflicts.
