Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1830 Papal States 1 Scudo coin is that it features a unique design element - the portrait of Pope Pius VIII on the obverse (front side) is surrounded by a wreath made up of two branches, one of laurel and one of olive leaves, which symbolize victory and peace, respectively. This design was a departure from the traditional depiction of popes on coins, which usually featured a more formal and serious image. The inclusion of the wreath and the use of a more relaxed pose for the pope's portrait were seen as a way to convey a sense of approachability and benevolence, which were key themes of Pius VIII's papacy.
