Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Scudo d'Oro - Julius III 1551-1552 (1550-1555) coin from the Papal States is that it was minted during a time of significant religious and political upheaval. Pope Julius III, who ruled from 1550 to 1555, was known for his efforts to reform the Catholic Church and his controversial involvement in European politics. The coin's minting may have been a way for the Papal States to assert their authority and independence during this tumultuous period.
