Comment
Aleman coat of arms as GovernorInteresting fact
The 1 Ducato coin from Bologna (Papal States) made of Gold weighing 3.52 g is interesting because it was issued during the reign of Pope Martin V (1424-1426), who played a significant role in the Western Schism, a split in the Catholic Church that lasted from 1378 to 1417. This coin may have been used as a means of exchange during that time, and its gold content would have held significant value.
