Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Giulio - Pius V ND (1566-1572) coin from Ancona (Papal States) is that it features a unique design on its reverse side. Instead of the usual depiction of the Pope's coat of arms, this coin bears an image of the Ancona Cathedral, which was a prominent landmark in the city and a symbol of the Papal States' authority. This design choice was likely made to commemorate the cathedral's completion in 1566, which coincided with the beginning of Pope Pius V's papacy.
