Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1689 Papal States 1 Doppia coin made of Gold (.999) weighing 6.71g is that it features an image of Pope Alexander VIII on one side and the Papal States coat of arms on the other. This coin was minted during Alexander VIII's papacy, which lasted from 1689 to 1691, and was used as a standard circulation coin in the Papal States. Despite its age, the coin remains a popular collector's item among numismatists due to its historical significance and rarity.
