1 Piccolo - Louis of Teck

Louis of Teck held the Patriarchate of Aquileia during one of its most politically turbulent stretches — the institution was already in terminal decline, caught between Venetian territorial ambitions and Holy Roman imperial politics. Venice would formally abolish the Patriarchate entirely in 1751, but the erosion of its temporal authority was well underway by Louis's tenure. The piccolo, the smallest denomination in the patriarchal monetary hierarchy, was the workhorse of local exchange in Friuli.

Bernardi's classification remains the standard reference for this series, though die variation within the piccolo type is considerable given the rudimentary minting conditions typical of minor ecclesiastical mints.
