Scudo, Alexander Farnese, hertog van Parma herstelt de rust in het bisdom Keulen 1590

This silver coin, also known as a "scudo," was minted in 1590 and depicts Alexander Farnese, Duke of Parma, on one side and the city of Cologne on the other. The coin was created by an anonymous artist and celebrates Farnese's role in restoring peace to the Archbishopric of Cologne, a region of the Holy Roman Empire, during a time of religious conflict. The coin is a valuable historical artifact, representing the complex political and religious landscape of 16th-century Europe.
