| 表面の銘文 | FR II MAR·MANTVE·IIII (Translation: Francis II, fourth Marquess of Mantova) |
| 裏面の説明 | Central device depicting a crucible or vessel set over flames, with a bundle of rods (fasces) beneath, serving as the personal impresa of Francis II Gonzaga and symbolizing purification through trial. The design is rendered in bold, stylized relief characteristic of hammered copper issues of the period. A partial circular Latin legend, drawn from Psalm 138, surrounds the central device and is distributed around the periphery of the irregular flan. The reverse composition is emblematic in character, reflecting the humanist and courtly culture of the Gonzaga court. |

Francis II Gonzaga ruled Mantua through one of the most turbulent periods in Italian politics, serving as Captain-General of the Venetian forces at Fornovo in 1495 — a battle claimed as a victory by both sides and settled nothing. His coinage reflects a court perpetually short of silver, with copper issues like this quattrino filling daily commerce while the duchy's finances lurched between condottiere contracts and aristocratic debt.
The crucible reverse is a Gonzaga device with dynastic significance, not a minting accident or workshop mark.
