Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - Leo X ND (1513-1521) coin from Papal States is that it features a unique design, with the portrait of Pope Leo X on one side and the coat of arms of the Papal States on the other. This design was specifically created to commemorate the pope's papacy and to promote the Catholic Church's influence and power during that time.
