Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Pope Adrian VI, who was the last non-Italian pope before the Renaissance. He was born in the Netherlands and was known for his efforts to reform the Catholic Church and his support for the arts. The coin's design, featuring the image of the pope and the inscription "PARMAE DOMINVS," reflects the influence of the Papal States during this time period.
