| Aanvullende informatie |
Vespasiano Gonzaga founded Sabbioneta from scratch — a planned Renaissance city he began constructing in the 1550s on flat Po Valley terrain, conceived as both a military stronghold and a model of humanist urban theory. The mint he established there was as much a prestige project as a fiscal one; a minor lord with grand ambitions needed coinage that announced dynastic legitimacy. The bianco, a mid-weight silver denomination common across northern Italian states, fit that purpose without overreaching.
Vespasiano received the title of Duke only in 1577 from Philip II of Spain, meaning pieces struck before that date carry his earlier style as Lord — a distinction that matters for attribution within the MIR 928 sequence.
