Aversbeschreibung Right-facing draped and cuirassed bust of Prince Federico Landi, adorned with the insignia of the Order of the Golden Fleece at the collar. The portrait is rendered in a formal Baroque style consistent with early seventeenth-century Italian coinage. The surrounding legend identifies the ruler with his full titulature in abbreviated Latin.

Reversbeschreibung Full-length frontal figure of Saint John the Baptist standing in the field, his right hand raised in benediction and his left hand grasping a pilgrim's staff. The saint serves as the patron protector of the principality, as declared by the surrounding Latin legend. The composition reflects the devotional iconographic conventions typical of small Italian principality coinage of the early seventeenth century.

Zusätzliche Informationen

Federico Landi inherited Compiano in 1590 and spent decades maneuvering between Spanish Milan and the French-aligned factions pressing into the Po valley. The parpaiola — a billon small change denomination common to northern Italian states — was struck here in quantities that suggest more political assertion than economic necessity. Tiny principalities like Compiano exercised mint rights partly to signal sovereign standing, not simply to supply commerce.

The 1622–1623 dating places this issue during the opening phase of the Valtelline crisis, when Spanish and French forces were contesting control of Alpine passes just east of Compiano's territory.
