Comment
Variants exist in shield shapeInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Giulio coin from the Papal States is that it features an image of St. Peter and St. Paul on one side, while the other side bears the image of Pope Julius II. This coin was minted during Julius' papacy, which lasted from 1503 to 1513, and was used as a standard circulation coin in the Papal States. Despite its small size, weighing only 3.4 grams, it was made of silver with a purity level of .9202, making it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
