附加信息

Historical Context: Issued for the Duchy of Piacenza (1740-1746), this Sesino signifies a turbulent era in Maria Teresa’s early reign. Piacenza, a contested territory after the Farnese extinction, came under Habsburg influence. Struck during the War of Austrian Succession, this copper denomination affirmed Maria Teresa's nominal authority. It served as essential fractional currency for local commerce amidst profound political instability, reflecting Italy's complex geopolitical landscape and her struggle for inheritance.

Artistry: The Sesino typically features a youthful bust of Maria Teresa on the obverse, often facing right, in a simplified Baroque style. The reverse generally displays the ducal arms of Piacenza
