Leoni, Leone (1505-1590)
attributed to: Silver scudo of Holy Roman Emperor Charles V as Duke of Milan, 1556. D: 4.2cm. Inv. CM C.2140. - This coin has a portrait of Charles V on the front, showing the emperor in classical Roman style. The unusual design on the reverse shows Jupiter casting down the Titans.
