Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Scudo d'Oro - Pius V ND (1566-1567) coin is that it was minted during the reign of Pope Pius V, who was a member of the Dominican Order and a prominent figure in the Counter-Reformation movement. The coin's design features an image of the Pope on one side and the Papal States' coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the papacy's authority and influence during that time.
