Comment
A Cervia was also known as a Lupetta, worth 3 Bolognini.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Alberico I Cybo Malaspina, who was the Duke of Massa-Carrara from 1617 to 1618. He was a member of the Cybo-Malaspina family, which was a powerful noble family in Italy during the 17th century. The coin's design was likely meant to promote the Duke's image and reinforce his authority over the region.
