Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Doppia coin from Bologna (Papal States) made of Gold (.999) weighing 6.57 g is that it was minted during the reign of Pope Clement VIII, who was known for his controversial decision to appoint his nephew, Cardinal Ludovico Madruzzo, as the Bishop of Trento. This move was seen as a blatant example of nepotism and sparked widespread criticism within the Church. Despite this, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists due to its rarity and historical significance.
