Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - Adrian VI ND (1522-1523) from Bologna (Papal States) gold coin is that it was minted during the papacy of Pope Adrian VI, who was the last non-Italian pope until Pope John Paul II in the 20th century. Adrian VI was a Dutch pope, and his papacy was marked by efforts to reform the Catholic Church and address the challenges of the Protestant Reformation. The coin's design and minting can be seen as a reflection of the cultural and political influences of the time.
