| Beschrijving keerzijde | A cross pattée occupies the central field, its splayed arms terminating in broad flat ends, with a single pellet placed in each of the four cantons formed by the cross. The design is bold and simply executed, consistent with the small module and low-denomination character of this billon maglia. A circular legend in Latin script surrounds the cross, reading MONTISFERATI, identifying the issuing territory of Montferrat. The coin's irregular flan and worn surfaces are typical of this modest denomination struck by hammering. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Guglielmo VIII ruled Montferrat through a period of almost continuous diplomatic maneuvering between Milan, Savoy, and the French crown, a small marquisate perpetually useful to larger powers as a buffer and ally. The maglia — the smallest billon denomination in regular circulation — was the workhorse of local markets, changing hands for bread and small goods while silver grossi handled larger transactions. Virtually none were saved.
The CNI records die variation across this type, with specimens catalogued under #9 through #11 showing minor differences in execution consistent with multiple working dies cut over a production span of nearly two decades.
