Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Doppia coin from Papal States is that it was minted during the reign of Pope Pius VI, who was known for his efforts to reform the Catholic Church and its finances. The coin's design features an image of the Pope on one side and the Papal States' coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the Church's authority and influence in the region.
