After the re-establishment of Parman independence, a national currency was introduced in 1815. Also called the lira, it was subdivided into 20 soldi or 100 centesimi . However, this lira was equal to the French franc and the Sardinian lira , and it circulated alongside the latter.
The Parman lira was Parma's official currency before 1802, and later revived from 1815 to 1859. The Duchy of Parma had its own coinage system until it was made a part of France in 1802. This lira was subdivided into 20 soldi ( singular : soldo ), each of 12 denari (singular: denaro ), with the sesino worth 6 denari and the ducato was worth 7 lire.
