Sesino - Charles Emmanuel III

Charles Emmanuel III was Duke of Parma only from 1731 to 1735 — the attribution here almost certainly refers to the later Bourbon duke Philip I, who took Parma in 1748, or possibly to a transitional issue struck during the Austrian occupation preceding the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle. The mid-1740s were a period of contested sovereignty over Parma, with the duchy changing hands effectively through the War of the Austrian Succession. A sesino struck in 1744–45 would have circulated under genuinely uncertain political authority.
