Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Giulio - Clement VII ND (1523-1534) coin from Piacenza (Papal States) is that it features a unique design on its reverse side. Instead of the usual depiction of the Pope's coat of arms or a religious image, this coin bears an image of the Ponte Sant'Angelo, a famous bridge in Rome that was built during the reign of Emperor Hadrian in the 2nd century AD. This bridge was an important symbol of the connection between the Papal States and the Roman Empire, and its inclusion on the coin highlights the close relationship between the two powers during the Renaissance period.
