Parman lira
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The lira was the currency of Parma before 1802 and again from 1815. Before 1802, it was subdivided into 20 soldi, each of 12 denari. The gold ducato was worth 7 lire. The currency was replaced by the French franc when Parma was occupied by the French.
In 1815, a new coinage was issued denominated in lire, subdivided into 20 soldi or 100 centesimi. This lira was equal to the French franc and the Sardinian lira, and it ciculated alongside the latter. Since 1861, Parma has used the Italian lira.
