Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Bianco - Benedict XIV 1743-1754 coin from Bologna (Papal States) is that it was minted during a time of significant political and religious change. Pope Benedict XIV, who ruled from 1740 to 1758, was known for his efforts to reform the Catholic Church and its institutions. He also played a role in shaping the political landscape of Europe during his papacy. The coin's minting can be seen as a reflection of the economic and financial reforms that were taking place during this period, as well as the influence of the Church on the political and economic systems of the time.
