Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Scudo d'Oro - Sixtus V 1586 from Ancona (Papal States) coin is that it was minted during the papacy of Pope Sixtus V, who was known for his efforts to reform the Catholic Church and restore its power and influence. This coin, made of gold and weighing 3.28 grams, was likely used as a means of exchange and commerce during this time period, and its design may have been meant to symbolize the wealth and authority of the Papal States.
