1/2 Filippo - Carlo III

Carlo III here is Charles VI, Holy Roman Emperor, ruling Milan as a Spanish succession prize confirmed at Utrecht in 1713. The Filippo was Milan's principal large silver denomination, and the half-Filippo sat below it as a working monetary unit during a period when Austrian fiscal demands on Lombardy were considerable — war financing for the ongoing conflicts with the Ottomans and rival Bourbon claimants kept the mint active through much of the 1720s and 1730s.

The series ended abruptly with Charles VI's death in 1740, which triggered the War of Austrian Succession and fundamentally disrupted Milanese coinage for years afterward.
