Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Doppia coin from Bologna (Papal States) made of Gold (.917) weighing 2.73 g is that it was minted during the reign of Pope Pius VI, who was the last Pope to rule over the Papal States before they were annexed by France in 1796. This coin was minted in 1785 and features an image of the Pope on one side and the coat of arms of the Papal States on the other. It is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
