Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Scudo d'Oro - Paul III ND (1534) from Bologna (Papal States) is that it was issued during the papacy of Pope Paul III, who was known for his efforts to reform the Catholic Church and his support for the arts. The coin's design, which features an image of the pope on one side and the Papal States' coat of arms on the other, reflects the religious and political significance of the Papal States during this time period.
