Interesting fact
The Valentine and Emperor Louis I ND (827) coin from the Papal States is an interesting piece of history. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Pope Valentine, who was the first pope to use the title "Pope" instead of "Bishop of Rome." This coin is a testament to the historical significance of the Papal States and the influence of the Catholic Church during that time.
