Comment
Fermo was ruled by Ludovico Migliorati until 1428, so the date range of this coin is narrower than Martin V's reign.Interesting fact
The Bolognino - Martin V ND (1428-1431) coin from Fermo (Papal States) is interesting because it was minted during the reign of Pope Martin V, who played a significant role in the Western Schism, a split in the Catholic Church that lasted from 1378 to 1417. This coin was minted during the period of reunification, and its production was likely overseen by the Pope himself, making it a unique piece of history.
