Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducato - Clement VII ND (1523-1534) coin from Papal States is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil and change in the Roman Catholic Church. Pope Clement VII, who ruled from 1523 to 1534, was known for his controversial policies and his refusal to annul King Henry VIII's marriage to Catherine of Aragon, which led to the English Reformation and the creation of the Church of England. Despite this tumultuous period, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item due to its rarity and historical significance.
