Interesting fact

The 1800 Papal States 1 Scudo coin featuring Pius VII is notable for its unique design, which features the Pope seated on a throne, surrounded by symbols of the Holy Mother Church. The coin's design was created by the Italian engraver, Giovanni Maria Merli, who was known for his work on various papal coins during the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
