ROMA can be below the door, in the exergueInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Circulating commemorative coin 1 Giulio - Julius III 1550 from Papal States made of Silver weighing 3.10 g is that it was minted during the reign of Pope Julius III, who was known for his love of art and architecture. The coin's design likely reflects this papal interest, as it features an image of the pope on one side and a detailed image of a church or other religious building on the other. Additionally, the use of silver in the coin's minting suggests that it was intended to be a high-value denomination, possibly used for large transactions or as a symbol of wealth and status.
