Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Baiocco - Paul III (S. Peter) ND (1534-1540) coin from Papal States is that it features an image of Saint Peter, who is considered the patron saint of Rome and the Catholic Church, on one side, and Pope Paul III on the other. This coin was minted during a time of significant religious and political change, as the Protestant Reformation was gaining momentum in Europe, and the Papal States were facing challenges to their authority. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a symbol of the enduring influence of the Catholic Church.
