Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Testone - Sixtus V (S.Peter; Bust) 1587 (1586-1588) coin from Papal States is that it features an image of Saint Peter on one side and Pope Sixtus V on the other. This coin was minted during a time when the Papal States were facing economic challenges, and the use of silver in the coin's production was a deliberate choice to increase its value and stability. Despite the challenges, the coin remained in circulation for over 200 years, a testament to its durability and the trust that people had in it.
