Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Ducats - Clement VII ND (1523-1525) coin from the Papal States is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, particularly in the Catholic Church. Pope Clement VII, who ruled from 1523 to 1534, was at the center of the Protestant Reformation, which challenged the authority of the Catholic Church and led to a split in Christianity. Despite this, the coin still bears the image of the Pope and the insignia of the Papal States, reflecting the continued influence of the Church during this time.
