| Beschrijving voorzijde | Quartered shield occupying the central field, each quarter bearing heraldic charges associated with the Radicati family and the County of Cocconato; the shield is surmounted by a crown and enclosed within a squared border. A partial Latin legend runs along the outer margin, partially obscured by the irregular flan edge. The die work is characteristic of small-denomination hammered billon coinage of late sixteenth-century Piedmontese feudal mints. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A draped seated figure, identified by the legend as Providentia, depicted in left profile within the open field; the figure holds an attribute in the outstretched hand, consistent with allegorical representations of Providence on contemporary north Italian feudal coinage. A partial Latin legend encircles the design along the periphery. The flan is irregular and the strike weak in places, typical of the hand-hammered production of this series. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Radicati counts of Cocconato held imperial fiefdom rights that nominally permitted coinage, though their issues were perennially contested by Savoy, which viewed the proliferation of small billon from subordinate Piedmontese lords as both an economic nuisance and an affront to ducal monetary authority. The parpaiolle — a fractional billon denomination circulating widely across northern Italy and Savoy — was the workhorse of small transactions, routinely clipped, counterfeited, and debased by minor mints precisely because oversight was weak at this level of the feudal hierarchy.
The anonymous attribution in CNI reflects genuine uncertainty about which count within the Radicati line authorized the striking.
