Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Scudo coin from Bologna (Papal States) made of Gold (.986) weighing 3.27 g is that it was minted during the reign of Pope Alexander VII, who was known for his efforts to reform the Catholic Church and his support for the arts. The coin's design, which features an image of the Pope on one side and the Papal States' coat of arms on the other, reflects the religious and political significance of the Papal States during this time period.
