Lot # 7 - Bologna.  Giovanni II Bentivoglio (1495-1506).  Quattrino.  D/  Stemma Bentivoglio.  R/  Mezzo busto di San Giovanni con palma nella destra e coppa nella sinistra.  CNI 64; Chim. 219; MIR (Emilia) 49.  MI.  0.55 g.  16.50 mm.  RRR.  Rarissimo. Numero di repertorio '1251' scritto con china.  Bel BB. Esemplare pubblicato in Chimienti 'Monete della zecca di Bologna' al numero 219. Interessantissima e curiosa l'iconografia di San Giovanni su cui i principali testi non si soffermano. Giovanni Evangelista è raffigurato, secondo una certa tradizione, come un giovane imberbe. Il calice con il serpente che tiene nella sinistra è un attributo alquanto inconsueto da trovare e deriva da una fonte apocrifa, che ricorda come il Santo, costretto a bere un veleno per non avere sacrificato agli dei, benedisse la coppa dorata, da cui uscirono dei serpenti.
