Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Zecchini coin from Bologna (Papal States) made of Gold (.999) weighing 17.1 g is that it was minted during the reign of Pope Pius VI, who was the last Pope to rule over the Papal States before they were annexed by France in 1796. This coin is a rare and valuable piece of history, as it represents a significant moment in the political and religious upheaval of the time.
