Interesting fact
The 1 Picciolo coin from Ancona (Papal States) made of Billon and weighing 0.51g is interesting because it was issued during the reign of Pope Leo X (1513-1521), who was known for his love of art and architecture. This coin may have been used to fund some of the papal state's artistic projects during that time.
