Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Testone - Sixtus V (AGGREGATA RELIGIO) 1585 coin from Papal States is that it features an image of Pope Sixtus V, who was known for his efforts to reform the Catholic Church and restore the power of the papacy. He was also known for his controversial policies, such as the creation of the Index Librorum Prohibitorum, a list of banned books that was used to censor works deemed heretical or immoral.
