Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducato - Nicholas V ND (1447-1455) from Bologna (Papal States) made of Gold weighing 3.5 g is that it features an image of Pope Nicholas V on one side and the coat of arms of the Papal States on the other. This coin was minted during Nicholas V's papacy, which lasted from 1447 to 1455, and was used as a means of promoting the papacy and spreading its influence throughout Europe. Despite its small size, this coin is a valuable piece of history and a testament to the economic and political power of the Papal States during the Renaissance.
