Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Ducato - Eugene IV ND (1431-1447) coin from Papal States is that it features an image of Pope Eugene IV on one side and the coat of arms of the Papal States on the other. This coin was minted during Eugene IV's papacy, which lasted from 1431 to 1447, and was used as a standard circulation coin in the Papal States. Despite being made of gold, the coin is relatively small, weighing only 3.342 grams. This makes it a unique and interesting piece of numismatic history.
