Interesting fact

The 1 Ducato coin from Bologna (Papal States) made of Gold weighing 3.51 g is interesting because it was issued during the reign of Pope Martin V (1417-1431), who played a significant role in ending the Western Schism in the Catholic Church. This coin may have been used as a means of exchange during that time and could provide valuable insights into the economic and political climate of the Papal States during the early 15th century.
