Comment
Mintmaster's sign of Consoli Fiorentini. Actually it is not listed in the main Papal States catalogs.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Ducats - Clement VII ND (1523-1534) coin from the Papal States is that it features a unique design element: the coat of arms of the Medici family, who were powerful bankers and political leaders in Florence, Italy. This is notable because the Papal States were traditionally seen as a separate entity from the secular world, and the inclusion of a family crest on a papal coin was a rare occurrence. It highlights the influence and power of the Medici family during this time period.
