| Beschrijving voorzijde | Armored bust of Scipione Gonzaga facing right, wearing elaborately decorated plate armor with prominent pauldrons and gorget, his hair curled and flowing. A circular legend in Latin surrounds the effigy, reading partially SCIPON and referencing his titles, with the denomination numeral 80 inscribed in the lower field below the bust. The portrait is rendered in a vigorous late-Renaissance style characteristic of early seventeenth-century Italian hammered coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Bozzolo was among the smallest and most precarious of the Gonzaga cadet lordships — a pocket territory wedged between Mantua and Cremona, perpetually dependent on the goodwill of larger neighbors. Scipione Gonzaga ruled it from 1613 until 1670, a remarkably long tenure for so marginal a domain. The 80 Soldi denomination itself was an awkward unit, pitched between standard divisional coins and the heavier specie preferred for serious commerce, which likely explains why surviving examples are rarely found with honest circulation wear.
