Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Giulio - Paul III (Closed book) ND (1545-1549) coin from Papal States is that it features a unique design element - the closed book - which symbolizes the Pope's commitment to the Council of Trent, a major Catholic Church council that took place during his reign. This coin was minted during a time of significant religious and political change in Europe, and its design reflects the Papal States' efforts to assert their authority and promote Catholicism.
