Hello! I would like to ask to add to the list of Italian states that have issued coins, the mint of Brescello, an Italian municipality still existing near the Po river, in the province of Reggio. The mint was opened in 1570 by order of Alfonso II d'Este Duke of Ferrara and Modena. The mint was closed in 1595 by the same duke. It has minted 17 different coins known and catalogued in the Corpus Nummorum Italicorum (CNI) manual, volume 9 (Emilia, Parma, Piacenza, Modena and Reggio), page 8-10 the volume can be consulted for free on the website of the Italian Ministry of Culture, here: https://www.bollettinodinumismatica.it/#/biblioteca-online/cni

Hi

It already exist

https://en.numista.com/catalogue/mint.php?id=1403

Oh thanks, unfortunately it doesn't come out as a result from the "issuers" box. I guess because it is catalogued as Ferrara coinage

It's a mint used by Dukes of Ferrara right ?

Then issuer is Duchy of Ferrara and mint is Brescello, we have specific field for each info

 

Or was it another political issuer than Duchy ?

I would like to avoid giving incorrect information as I am a coin collector only as a hobby and I do not know the coinage of this area of ​​Italy very well. I can only say that the reference catalogue (Corpus Nummorum Italicorum) says that the Brescello mint was created by order of the Duke of Ferrara, so it is certainly correct to include it under the municipality of Ferrara. However, the same manual separates the two mints, so much so that it puts them in two different volumes. The Brescello mint is in volume 9 while the Ferrara mint is in volume 10. I therefore do not know if it is correct to catalogue Brescello as the Ferrara mint or to separate them.

Yes, CNI sorts coins by mints and not by issuers.

An issuer like Duchy of Ferrara often operates several different mints.
