| Beschrijving voorzijde | Displayed imperial double-headed eagle with wings spread, the heads turned outward in profile, rendered in high relief in the hammered style typical of late 16th-century Italian feudal coinage. A crown surmounts the eagle, whose talons and feathering are boldly struck. The surrounding circular legend in Latin is divided by pellet stops and reads FRAN · GON · S · R · IMP · P · MAR · C · ET · M, identifying the issuer as Francesco Gonzaga, Prince of the Holy Roman Empire and Marquess of Castiglione and Medole. The flan is irregular and slightly clipped, consistent with hammered billon coinage of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Marquisate of Castiglione delle Stiviere was a tiny Imperial fief in the Mantuan plain, and its right to strike coin derived from privileges granted by the Habsburgs — hence the Tyrolean attribution on this type, aligning the issue stylistically with the coinage traditions of the Austrian territories rather than those of neighboring Mantua. Francesco I Gonzaga, who ruled the marquisate across this period, was navigating the delicate politics of a minor lord dependent on Imperial goodwill while maintaining distance from the larger Gonzaga duchy to the south.
Billon issues of this type circulated locally alongside a chaotic mix of Mantuan, Milanese, and Venetian small change.
