Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Giulio coin from the Papal States is that it features an image of Pope Julius II on one side, while the other side bears the inscription "LVMINARIA VERAE FIDEI" which translates to "Luminaries of the True Faith". This coin was minted during Julius II's papacy (1503-1513) and was used as a means of promoting the Catholic Church's influence and authority. The coin's silver content and intricate design also made it a valuable and sought-after collector's item.
