| Additional information |
Raymond della Torre held the patriarchate from 1273 to 1298, a period defined by his fierce entanglement in the factional wars between the della Torre and Visconti families in Lombardy — conflicts that repeatedly pulled him away from ecclesiastical administration and into open military campaigning. The Patriarchate of Aquileia held secular lordship over a substantial territory in the Friuli, making its mint output as much a political instrument as a commercial one.
Bernardi 29 is among the more routinely encountered piccoli of the series, though the thin billon fabric makes intact examples genuinely difficult to find.
