Comment
Parma mint was active up to 1545 when the Pope formed the Duchy of Parma and Piacenza for his son Pier Luigi FarneseInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Scudo d'Oro - Paul III ND (1535-1545) from Parma (Papal States) is that it was minted during the papacy of Pope Paul III, who was known for his efforts to reform the Catholic Church and his support for the arts. The coin's design features an image of the Pope on one side and the Papal States' coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the close relationship between the Church and the Papal States.
