Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Testone - Sixtus V ND (1585-1590) coin from Bologna (Papal States) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "S.P.Q.R." (Senatus Populusque Romanus) which represents the Roman Senate and People. This symbol was used to signify the coin's issuance under the authority of the Pope, who was the head of the Roman Catholic Church and the ruler of the Papal States.
