Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Carlino coin from Bologna (Papal States) is that it was minted during the reign of Pope Alexander VII, who was known for his efforts to reform the Catholic Church and his support for the arts and sciences. The coin's design, which features an image of the Pope on one side and the coat of arms of Bologna on the other, reflects the close relationship between the Papal States and the city of Bologna during this time period.
