| Beschrijving voorzijde | Quartered heraldic shield bearing the arms of the della Rovere dynasty, surmounted by a ducal crown, all contained within a thin inner circle. The four quarters display the dynastic and territorial arms in relief, struck in the characteristic irregular style of hammered coinage. A circular Latin legend surrounds the shield, reading clockwise and interrupted by pellet stops. The overall composition is bold and centrally placed, typical of late Renaissance Italian state coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Francesco Maria II della Rovere was the last Duke of Urbino — he abdicated in 1624 and ceded the duchy to the Papal States, ending over a century of della Rovere rule. The long reign span of this issue reflects a static coinage policy typical of the smaller north-central Italian duchies, where denominations could run unchanged across decades. The sedicino, a fractional silver unit, circulated alongside heavier issues in a regional economy where small-denomination silver was chronically undersupplied.
Francesco Maria II died without a legitimate heir, having outlived his only son Federigo Ubaldo by two years. That dynastic failure, not force, is what delivered Urbino to Rome.
