| Additional information |
Peter Louis Farnese held Novara as part of the broader Farnese consolidation of northern Italian territories following his father Pope Paul III's elevation in 1534. His rule was never popular — he was assassinated in Piacenza in 1547, effectively ending direct Farnese control over these signorie. Small billon fractions like this trillina served everyday transaction needs during a decade of constant political maneuvering between the Farnese, the Sforza remnants, and imperial Habsburg pressure on the Duchy of Milan, of which Novara was effectively a contested dependency.
