Interesting fact
The 1 Doppia coin from the Papal States, minted during the reign of Innocent XII in 1692, is interesting because it was made of gold (.986) and weighed 7 grams. This coin was a standard circulation coin, indicating that it was widely used and accessible to the general population, unlike some other coins that were minted for special occasions or as collectibles. Additionally, the fact that it was made of gold, a valuable and durable metal, speaks to the economic and political stability of the Papal States during that time.
