Historical Context: The 1 Trillina, issued under Johann Jakob Trivulzio for the Lordship of Mesocco (Misox) 1487-1518, reflects seigneurial authority and regional economics. Trivulzio, a powerful Milanese condottiero, acquired Mesocco in 1480. This strategic Alpine valley, part of the Grisons leagues, linked Lombardy and the Holy Roman Empire. Issuing this copper trillina asserted Trivulzio's regalian rights in shifting political landscapes, meeting local small change needs within a borderland economy under French, Imperial, and Swiss influence.
Artistry: Specific engravers for small, utilitarian copper coinage from this period are rarely documented. The Mesocco Trillina's artistic style aligns with provincial late Gothic numismatic traditions, transitioning into early Renaissance influences. Designs were simple, prioritizing legibility and rapid die production.
