In the Battle of Legnano in 1176, the alliance of the Lombard League defeated the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa, thus confirming the strong will of the northern Italian cities for independence from foreign influence.
The victory at Legnano not only showcased the effective coordination and military strategy of the Lombard League but also set the stage for the subsequent Peace of Venice in 1177, marking a turning point in the power dynamics between the German Empire and the Italian city-states.
Because of this historic victory, Legnano is the only town other than Rome named in the Italian national anthem.
The obverse features a detail from the 1860 painting "The Defense of the Carroccio During the Battle of Legnano" by Amos Cassioli. Decorative elements from the banner of Palio di Legnano are featured in the corners.
The reverse depicts the banner Palio di Legnano, with spears extending beyond the design. At the top the quote from the Italian national anthem "DOVUNQUE É LEGNANO". Decorative elements from the banner of Palio di Legnano are featured in the corners.
Delivered in a luxury case, including a certificate of authenticity. |
