Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Parpaiolle coin is that it features an image of Saint Mary and the child Jesus on one side, while the other side bears the coat of arms of the Bishop of Lausanne, Georges de Saluces. This coin was minted during a time of great religious and political significance in the region, and its design reflects the influences of both the Catholic Church and the local nobility.
