| Additional information |
Giovanni Sforza received Pesaro as a papal vicar in 1489, but this issue predates his sole authority — it was struck jointly with his father Camille, who held the lordship until his death that year. The Sforza grip on Pesaro was itself a byproduct of Francesco Sforza's broader consolidation of Lombard client territories across the peninsula, placing family members in strategically useful signorie. Giovanni's later notoriety stems almost entirely from his marriage to Lucrezia Borgia in 1493 and the annulment scandal that followed, but numismatically his coinage from the Camille period is the rarer and more historically pointed issue.
