Correggio
AV Ducato ND (1597)
Correggio Mint
Camillio d'Ashburgo 1597-1603

This coin is unpublished, only one known. Bought if from Sincona "unsolds list"

 

Ready for 1596? I am and I'm bored this morning trying to keep busy at work.

I have 2 varieties of the same coin.

This piece belongs to the series of so-called emblematic thalers, which refer to the duke's disputes with some rural aristocrats. On this "lying" coin the duke is represented by a lion crowned by an angel, who tears up a Capricorn, or, the plaintiffs.

I guess, technically it isn't 2 different varieties, just different dies. The differences are most notable in the date and angel.



Obverse: 9-fold arms with central shield, 3 helmets above, wildman at right, titles of Heinrich Julius

Reverse: Date divided around Victory holding wreath flying left above lion passant left, double margin legends

 

Oops forgot I had a 1598....I loose track!

Alessandro Farnese, Duke of Parma was suppose to have commanded Spanish forces in land invasion of England. But the famous Armada could not destroy the English naval forces in 1588. Thus, he kept leading Spanish armies vs Dutch rebels in Flanders.
