Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during a time of great political and economic change in Italy. The Principality of Compiano was a small state located in the region of Emilia-Romagna, and it was one of many states that existed in Italy during the Renaissance period. The coin was minted during the reign of Federico Landi, who was the Lord of Compiano from 1622 to 1623. This coin is a rare example of the currency used during this time period and provides a glimpse into the economic and political history of Italy during the early 17th century.
