Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1695 Francis Farnese I 1 Doppia coin from the Duchy of Parma and Piacenza is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the Farnese family's coat of arms, which is placed above the pope's crown on the obverse side of the coin. This shield is a nod to the powerful Farnese family, who played a significant role in the political and religious history of the region.
