| Aanvullende informatie |
Odoardo Farnese inherited Piacenza and Parma at age fifteen and spent much of his reign entangled in the disastrous Castro War, a territorial dispute with Pope Urban VIII that would eventually ruin the dynasty's finances and, a generation later, cost his son Ranuccio II the duchy's independence entirely. These scudi were struck during the relatively solvent years before that conflict ignited in 1641, when Farnese coffers could still support proper silver coinage at high fineness.
Piacenza's mint output across this period was never large. Surviving examples in problem-free condition are genuinely scarce.
