Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Doppia coin from Bologna (Papal States) made of Gold weighing 6.64g is that it was minted during the reign of Pope Clement VIII, who was known for his controversial decision to revoke the Edict of Nantes, leading to the persecution of French Protestants. Despite this, the coin still bears his name and image, highlighting the complex relationship between religion and politics during that time.
