Comment

In the Papal States
Together with Rome, and Avignon in southern France, Ancona was the sole city in the Papal States in which the Jews were allowed to stay after 1569, living in the ghetto built after 1555.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Denaro coin from the City of Ancona (Italian States) made of Billon and weighing 0.6g is that it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Italy. The coin was minted during the reign of Pope Gregory IX, who was instrumental in establishing the Papal States, which would go on to play a significant role in the political and religious landscape of Italy for centuries to come. Additionally, the use of Billon, a copper and silver alloy, was a common practice during this time period, as it was a more affordable alternative to pure silver or gold coins.
