| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse displays the elaborate quartered coat of arms of the Farnese dynasty, surmounted by a ducal crown. The shield is divided into multiple quarters bearing fleurs-de-lis and the Farnese lilies, with the central escutcheon featuring the papal keys and tiara referencing the family's pontifical heritage. Flanking the shield are decorative scrollwork supporters, and a diagonal baton or lance crosses behind the escutcheon. The circumferential legend PLAC * ROMOLO, alluding to Piacenza as a colony of the Romans, runs around the outer beaded border. The overall composition is characteristic of high Renaissance Italian civic heraldic coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ottavio Farnese inherited the Duchy of Parma under deeply hostile circumstances — his father Pier Luigi was assassinated in 1547, and Charles V seized Piacenza immediately after, leaving Ottavio to claw back legitimacy through decades of diplomatic maneuvering between the Habsburgs and the French crown. His coinage reflects that prolonged struggle for recognition; the quarter scudo series was issued across a reign of nearly thirty years, during which the mint at Parma functioned as much as a political instrument as a monetary one.
Surviving examples vary considerably in die quality across the long production window, an expected consequence of a small ducal mint stretched over three decades.
