Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 parpaiolle coin from the Lordship of Frinco (Italian States) is that it was made of billon, which is an alloy of silver and copper. This was a common practice in the production of coins during that time period, as it allowed for the creation of coins with a silver-like appearance while using less expensive metals. The use of billon in coin production also made it difficult for counterfeiters to produce fake coins, as it was difficult to replicate the exact composition of the alloy.
