Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Sesino - Clement VIII ND (1592-1596) coin from Bologna (Papal States) is that it was minted during a time of significant political and religious upheaval. Pope Clement VIII, who ruled from 1592 to 1605, was known for his controversial policies and conflicts with European powers, including the excommunication of King Henry IV of France and his support for the Spanish Inquisition. Despite these tensions, the coin still bears the image of the Pope and the insignia of the Papal States, reflecting the powerful influence of the Catholic Church during this time period.
