Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ½ Bolognino - Urban VIII 1623 coin from Ferrara (Papal States) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "S.P.Q.F." (Senatus Populusque Ferrariensis) which represents the Senate and People of Ferrara. This coin was minted during the reign of Pope Urban VIII, who was known for his support of the arts and his efforts to modernize the Papal States. The coin's design is a reflection of the city's rich history and cultural heritage.
