Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Trillina coin is that it was minted during the reign of Peter Louis Farnese, who was the first Duke of Parma and Piacenza, and the last Marquess of Novara. He was a member of the powerful Farnese family, who were known for their wealth and political influence in Italy during the Renaissance period. The coin's design, which features the coat of arms of the Farnese family, reflects the family's importance and power during this time.
