Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1690 Papal States 1 Doppia coin made of Gold (.986) weighing 7g is that it features an image of Pope Alexander VIII on one side and the Papal coat of arms on the other. This coin was minted during Alexander VIII's papacy, which lasted from 1689 to 1691, and it was used as a standard circulation coin in the Papal States. Despite being made of gold, the coin's value is not particularly high due to its relatively low weight and the fact that it was widely circulated. However, it remains a valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in historical coins.
