Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Giulio - Leo X ND (1513-1521) coin from Ravenna (Papal States) is that it features an image of Pope Leo X on one side and an image of the apostle St. Peter on the other. This coin was minted during a time when the Papal States were facing significant financial challenges, and the use of silver in the coin's production was a deliberate choice to increase its value and stability. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item today.
