Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Doppia coin from Bologna (Papal States) made of Gold (.999) weighing 6.58 g is that it was minted during the reign of Pope Sixtus V, who was known for his ambitious architectural projects and reforms within the Catholic Church. This coin may have been used to help finance some of these projects, making it a unique piece of history.
