Interesting fact
The 1 Scudo coin from the Papal States, minted in 1780 during the reign of Pope Pius VI, features an interesting fact. Despite being made of silver (.917), it weighs 24.42 grams, which is relatively heavy for a coin of its size. This is due to the coin's large diameter of 38mm, which was unusual for coins of that time period. This unique combination of weight and size makes the 1 Scudo coin stand out among other coins of the era.
