Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the papacy of Pope Paul III, who was known for his efforts to reform the Catholic Church and his support for the arts. The coin's design, featuring an image of the Pope and the Farnese family crest, reflects the influence of the Farnese family, who were powerful supporters of the Pope and played a significant role in the political and cultural life of the Papal States during this time.
