| Additional information |
Guidobaldo II ruled Urbino through a period of careful political maneuvering between the Papal States and Spanish-controlled Milan, maintaining the duchy's nominal independence largely through his role as a condottiere commander. His coinage reflects that positioning — the giulio denomination was a papal currency unit adopted across central Italian lordships as a practical concession to Rome's monetary influence in the region.
CNI XIII places this type among a small cluster of variants distinguished by subtle die differences in the inscription spacing, catalogued under #36 and #37 as distinct but closely related strikes.
