1 Torellino

Parma's torellino takes its name from the bull (*toro*) that served as the city's heraldic symbol, a civic identity the commune fiercely defended during the factional violence of the early Trecento. The years of issue bracket a period when Parma shifted between Ghibelline and Guelf domination, with the Rossi and Simonetta factions contesting control — meaning the authority behind any given striking may have changed hands mid-series without the coinage reflecting it.

CNI IX records at least four die variants across this type, suggesting continuous if irregular production rather than a single organized emission.
