Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Bolognino coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the Papal States. The coin was introduced by Pope Clement VII in 1526 as a replacement for the previous currency, the grosso, and it was designed to be more durable and harder to counterfeit. Despite its introduction during a time of turmoil, the Bolognino coin remained in circulation for over a century and became a staple of the Papal States' economy.
