Comments
(en)
Lorenzo Bellesia in the article “Le madonnine contromarcate di Mantova” (The countermarked madonnine of Mantua) published in Panorama Numismatico 148 of January 2001, reveals the meaning of the countermark with a small head of Virgil present on the obverse of several specimens: this countermark was applied in an attempt to stem the large mass of fake coins (probably issued by the nearby mint of Novellara) that had poured onto the market.
