| Additional information |
Marino Grimani's decade as Doge, 1595–1605, coincided with Venice's fitful recovery from the War of Cyprus and the economic strain of maintaining its eastern trading network against Ottoman pressure. The Republic was minting silver aggressively in this period to fund diplomatic rather than military operations — Grimani was notably more conciliator than combatant, negotiating rather than fighting along the Adriatic frontier.
The CNI VII references spanning #157–158 suggest at least two distinct die pairings documented for this type, a detail worth attention for specialists working the series.
