Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Scudo d'Oro - Alexander VII ND (1655-1667) coin from Papal States is that it features a unique design element - the coat of arms of the Chigi family, who were prominent bankers and financiers in Rome during the 17th century. The Chigi family's coat of arms is displayed on the reverse side of the coin, surrounded by the inscription "SCUDO D'ORO PAPA ALEXANDER VII." This design element serves as a nod to the family's significant influence and contributions to the Papal States during the time of Alexander VII's papacy.
