Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 6 Doppie coin from the Duchy of Parma and Piacenza is that it was minted during the reign of Odoardo Farnese, who was the Duke of Parma and Piacenza from 1622 to 1646. The coin features an image of the Duke on one side and the coat of arms of the Farnese family on the other. The use of gold in the coin's minting was a symbol of the wealth and power of the Farnese dynasty, which ruled the region for over 200 years.
