Interesting fact
The 1 Ducat coin from Foligno (Papal States) made of Gold weighing 3.52 g is interesting because it was issued during the reign of Pope Paul II (1464-1471), who was known for his efforts to reform the Catholic Church and his patronage of the arts. This coin may have been used to promote the Pope's image and agenda throughout the Papal States.
