| Beschrijving voorzijde | A wolf passant to the left occupies the central field, rendered in a bold, archaic style characteristic of Renaissance Italian municipal coinage. A partial radiant sun emerges above the wolf's back, symbolizing the city's ancient Roman heritage. In the exergue, a ball device is flanked by two stars. The surrounding border legend, struck in Roman capital letters, identifies Piacenza as a Roman colony, and the coin's irregular hammered flan gives the design a characteristically uneven but vivid relief. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Clement VII's pontificate was among the most turbulent in Rome's history, and 1525 sits at the precise hinge point: Francis I had just been captured at Pavia in February, leaving Charles V the dominant power in Italy and the Pope scrambling to reposition himself politically. Piacenza had come under direct papal control only in 1512, wrested from French influence, and its mint was still relatively new to producing silver fractional coinage under Roman authority.
The "anonymous" attribution reflects the absence of the pontiff's name on the issue — a minting convention used at several Papal States mints for smaller silver fractions during this period, not an error or later attribution problem.
