Beschrijving keerzijde Full-length standing figure of Christ, nimbed and draped in flowing robes, facing right and extending keys toward Saint Peter, who kneels before him in supplication on the right side of the field. The scene, referencing the biblical Traditio Clavium, is executed in fine Baroque relief with a small six-pointed star ornament at the base of the inner circle. The date in Roman numerals, MDCXXXIX, appears in the exergue below a horizontal line. The circumferential Latin legend TV ES PETRVS PRAESIDIVM NOSTRVM surrounds the composition within a beaded border.

Aanvullende informatie

Bozzolo was among the smallest of the Lombard appanage states — a pocket principality carved from Gonzaga family inheritance that had no business striking coins at this weight and prestige level. The 6 Doppie denomination was an assertion of dynastic legitimacy as much as a monetary instrument, issued under Scipione Gonzaga whose rule over this minor fief was perpetually shadowed by the encroaching dominance of Spanish Milan. Coins of this type circulated far outside Bozzolo itself, passing through merchant networks where gold weight mattered more than the issuing authority behind it.

KM#60 is rare in any condition. The tiny Bozzolo mint lacked the production infrastructure of larger Italian states, and survivors show it.
