| Aanvullende informatie |
Struck inside Mantua during the Austrian siege of 1848, this coin is emergency coinage in the most literal sense — produced by the short-lived provisional government that took control of the city after the March uprisings swept northern Italy. The reference to Ferdinand I is a deliberate political signal, aligning the besieged republican administration with imperial legitimacy at a moment when Piedmont-Sardinia and irregular volunteers were fighting to dislodge Austria from the Quadrilateral fortresses.
Mantua held out longer than any other Lombard city, finally capitulating in July 1848 after months of encirclement.
