Interesting fact
The ½ Ducat coin from Comtat Venaissin (Papal States) made of Gold weighing 1.41 g is interesting because it was issued during the reign of Pope Innocent VIII, who was known for his controversial papacy, which included the establishment of the Spanish Inquisition and the persecution of Jews and other minority groups. Despite this, the coin still holds significant numismatic value and is highly sought after by collectors.
