10 Scudi - Gian Gabriele I

Gian Gabriele I ruled Saluzzo as a French vassal during one of the most contested periods in the marquisate's history, caught between Valois and Habsburg ambitions in the western Piedmont. The 10 Scudi denomination itself signals political theater as much as monetary need — large gold multiples at this weight were instruments of diplomacy and prestige, not everyday exchange. Few were struck, fewer survived.

Saluzzo was absorbed by Savoy in 1601 under the Treaty of Lyon, ending its independent coinage tradition entirely.
