Interesting fact

The ½ Bolognino coin from the Papal States, minted during the reign of Pope Paul V (1612-1620), features an interesting fact. Despite being made of copper, it weighs 8.06 grams, which is relatively heavy for a coin of its size and material. This suggests that the coin may have been minted with a higher level of detail or craftsmanship, making it a unique and valuable piece for collectors.
