| Additional information |
Frinco was a minor Piedmontese lordship whose coinage rights were effectively an anomaly — small jurisdictions of this type were supposed to be losing minting privileges to Savoy throughout the late sixteenth century, not exercising them. The anonymous attribution of this parpaiolle reflects a deliberate choice, not an oversight; the issuing lord avoided placing his name on the coinage, likely to minimize friction with ducal authorities who viewed fractional billon issues from sub-Savoyard territories with increasing suspicion.
MIR 623 places this type within a narrow window of documented production for Frinco, with only a handful of die pairings recorded across known specimens.
