| Additional information |
Correggio was a tiny imperial fief in the Po Valley, and its monetary output in the late sixteenth century was largely opportunistic — small states with minting rights exploited them to produce heavier silver pieces that could circulate at a premium across northern Italy. The 70-soldi valuation stamped this coin's purpose directly: it was tariffed for the Milanese and Mantuan markets rather than domestic use, where the county's own population was far too small to absorb issues of this weight.
The ruling Sforza di Correggio family lost the fief to Este control shortly after this series ended, closing the mint permanently.
