Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Scudo d'Oro - Clement IX ND (1667-1669) coin is that it was minted during a time of significant political and religious turmoil in the Papal States. The coin was issued by Pope Clement IX, who was the Pope from 1667 until his death in 1669. During his papacy, there was a major conflict between the Papal States and the Kingdom of France, which had invaded the Papal States in 1666. Despite this turmoil, the coinage of the Papal States continued to be minted, including the 1 Scudo d'Oro, which was a standard circulation coin made of gold and weighed 3.5 grams. This coin is a testament to the resilience and determination of the Papal States during a time of great upheaval.
