Comment
Mint masters: Tommaso Cavalcanti and Giovanni Giraldi, August 1540 - 1545Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Fiorino di Camera - Paul III ND (1540-1545) coin is that it was issued during the papacy of Pope Paul III, who was known for his efforts to reform the Catholic Church and his support for the arts. The coin's design features an image of the Pope on one side and the Papal States' coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the papacy's authority and influence during that time.
