| Additional information |
The Principality of Compiano was among the smallest sovereign entities ever to exercise minting rights in northern Italy — a postage-stamp territory in the Apennines above Parma, whose rulers extracted coinage privileges more as a financial instrument than as a genuine monetary necessity. Federico Landi's gold issues of the early 1620s were produced in negligible quantities, almost certainly struck for presentation or exchange at face value well above their actual circulation reach.
MIR 84 is among the rarest recorded for this issuer. Compiano's mint operated in fits and starts, and documentation of actual output volumes has not survived.
