| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped bust of Ferdinando Gonzaga, Cardinal and Duke of Mantua, facing right, attired in cardinal's robes with an elaborately decorated clasp at the collar and wearing a cardinal's biretta. The portrait is rendered in high relief with finely engraved hair and drapery details characteristic of early seventeenth-century Italian medallic art. The circumferential Latin legend reads FER CARD D G DVX M VI ET M F IIII, denoting his titles as Cardinal, Duke of Mantua VI and Marquis of Montferrat IV. The field is bounded by an inner circle with a beaded border at the rim. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ferdinando Gonzaga ruled Mantua from 1612 having abandoned a Cardinal's hat — he renounced holy orders upon the death of his brother Francesco, married, and took the duchy. The transition from ecclesiastic to secular prince was politically fraught, requiring papal dispensation and reshaping Mantua's diplomatic alliances with both Rome and the Habsburgs simultaneously.
The 4 Doppie denomination placed this squarely among prestige presentation issues, the kind circulated at courts rather than markets. Mantua's mint output under Ferdinando remained modest by ducal standards, and gold multiples of this weight are genuinely scarce in any condition.
