Historical Note:

In 1629 a deadly plague struck Italy/ the Young Duke prayed to the Virgin Mary to spare his life. In the end he survived and minted many coins with Her on the reverse as in my coin.

Congratulation, @panzerman for such a great acquision! Very beautiful coin!

I am also a great fan of the Quadruplas.

For this moment I have this one quadrupla of Alessandro Farnese.

Nice Quadrupla dated 1590! Alessandro Farnese was to have commanded Spanish Army for proposed land invasion of England/ however the Spanish Armada never succeeded in annihilating the English Fleet. Felipe II was royally ticked off/ since she had so called "privateers" plunder Spanish shipping/ Ports in New World. Same old story when the English/ British ran out of gold/ silver reserves they stole it from Spanish.

I have one too from 1595/ postumus issue/ struck under Ranuccio Farnese!
