Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - Paul II ND (1464) coin from the Papal States is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "S.P.Q.R." (Senatus Populusque Romanus) which represents the Roman Senate and People. This symbolizes the connection between the Papal States and the ancient Roman Empire.
