Interesting fact

The Gabellone coin from Bologna (Papal States) made of Silver weighing 9.48 g has an interesting fact that it was minted during the reign of Pope Urban VIII (1623-1644), who was known for his controversial policies and lavish spending. Despite the coin's relatively small denomination, it was made of silver, indicating the Papal States' wealth and influence at the time.
