Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Scudo d'Oro - Gregory XIII (Holy Door) 1575 from Ancona (Papal States) coin is that it was minted to commemorate the Holy Year of 1575, which was declared by Pope Gregory XIII to encourage pilgrimages to Rome and to promote spiritual renewal within the Catholic Church. The coin's design features an image of the Pope on one side and a depiction of the Holy Door on the other, symbolizing the spiritual gateway that the Pope sought to open for the faithful.
