Information
Silver, 3.66 g. - Diam. 29.00 mm.
Obverse: Coat of arms adorned with cords and bows on the sides; - Reverse: the Saint standing with the shield in his left hand and the spear in his right hand in the act of piercing the dragon.
CNI 49. MIR 982. Rare.
Re-wrought and light die crushing, but a very fresh looking specimen.
SPL.
The ancient attribution of Trivulzio's coinage to the Mesocco mint is now considered obsolete from a historical and documentary perspective. The reference to Mesocco in the minting certificates should be interpreted in relation to the fiefdom, not necessarily the physical location of the mint. Notarial documentation attests to the existence of a mint in Roveredo as early as 1497. Studies by Emilio Tagliabue and, more recently, by Costanza Cucini Tizzoni have also highlighted the lack of documentary evidence for a mint physically operating in Mesocco. Gian Giacomo Trivulzio's coinage attributable to his Mesocco dominion must therefore, based on current knowledge, be traced back to the Roveredo mint, traditionally also referred to in the literature as the "Mesocco mint" in a territorial sense.
