Italian coins BOLOGNA Annibale II Bentivoglio (1511-1512) Duchy - CNI 250 AU (g 3.46) RRRR Annibale Bentivoglio, son of John II, succeeded in seizing, with his partisans, Bologna, which he ruled for a year. He certainly knew he would not be able to maintain that position unless he convinced Julius II to recognize it, so after an initial fasedi open rebellion, he sought an agreement with the pontiff. Despite his efforts, Julius II had no intention of coming to terms with him and, with the military help of the King of Naples, managed to drive him out as he had done his father. It is likely that Hannibal, unable to issue coins in Julius II's name without his permission, issued some independently. The punch used to imprint St. Peter was changed significantly after the arrival in Bologna of the new cardinal legate Giovanni Medici. While previously the robe was depicted as long to the point of hiding the feet, it was later shown shorter, with the ankles uncovered. Since it is unlikely that Giovanni Bentivoglio II issued anonymous ducats without his own coat of arms or that of the pontiff at the end of his rule, it is believed that this golden bolognino must be attributed to Hannibal II. And those with the short robe without any armlet are assignable to the Vacant Sees following the pontificate of Leo X. A coin of great rarity and superb quality, especially the D/, which has reliefs practically intact and perfectly impressed. The only specimen, other than this one, that we have been able to find , turns out to be the one in the Künker auction of 2022, mis-catalogued under Clement VII and which, in BB+ conservation, realized 3200 euros + fees. - qFDC/ M.of SPL
