Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Scudo d'Oro - Gregory XIII ND (1578-1579) from Bologna (Papal States) is that it was minted during a time of significant religious and political upheaval. Pope Gregory XIII, who ruled from 1572 to 1585, was instrumental in the Catholic Church's response to the Protestant Reformation and also implemented reforms within the Church itself. Additionally, the Papal States, which covered much of central Italy, were facing challenges from neighboring states and were involved in various military conflicts during this period. Despite these challenges, the Papal States continued to mint coins like the 1 Scudo d'Oro, which remained a symbol of the Church's power and influence.
