Italian coins ROVEREDO Gian Francesco Trivulzio (1526-1549) Testone - MIR 1006 (indicated R/3); R.M. 1 AG (g 9.62) RRRR Ex Geri, December 1987, ex NAC, 2014, GdF Collection of Italian Testons, lot 345. Splendid specimen of this very rare coin among the rarest of the Renaissance teston series. From the catalog of the prestigious GdF collection we quote the note: Milanese general (1504-1573), grandson and heir of Gian Giacomo the Great; he was general of cavalry to Francis I of France. Antagonistic to the Sforzas, he was accused of attempted vengeance against Francis II Sforza and had his property confiscated. Saved by Charles V, he had to save himself by fleeing a new death sentence, taking refuge in Avignon, where he held the post of general of the papal cavalry. He had ceded (1549) his rights to Mesocco to the valley people, hence a series of claims and trials, mainly by his son Nicholas (d. 1599). The teston was struck with the title Marquis of Vigevano (MARchio VIGintico LumnaE) at Roveredo. The mint was located at the mouth of the Misolcina Valley, of which the Trivulzios were Princes, and was opened there after the Trivulzios lost two important possessions: first that of Mesocco following the Graubünden occupation and then that of Musso by Gian Giacomo Medici. This teston is believed to have been minted in the last years of its presence in Valmisolcina. - SPL
