Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2½ Scudi coin from the Papal States is that it was minted during the reign of Pope Gregory XVI, who was known for his conservative and traditionalist views. Despite this, the coin features a relatively modern design for its time, with a depiction of the Pope's crowned head on one side and an image of the Papal States' coat of arms on the other. This contrast between the traditionalist Pope and the modern coin design reflects the tension between old and new that was present during this time period.
