Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Scudo d'Oro - Clement VII ND (1533-1534) coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Papal States. Pope Clement VII, who ruled from 1523 to 1534, was faced with the challenge of the Protestant Reformation and the subsequent split in the Catholic Church. Despite these challenges, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and beauty, with its gold content and detailed design.
