Interesting fact
The 1 Ducat coin was used as a means of payment in the Papal States during the reign of Pope Innocent VIII, and it was one of the first coins to feature the image of a pope. The coin's design included the pope's crowned bust on one side and the coat of arms of the Borgia family on the other, signifying the pope's powerful position and influence.
