Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Doppia - Leo XII 1823-1824 coin from the Papal States is that it was minted during the brief reign of Pope Leo XII, who was known for his efforts to reform the Catholic Church and its finances. Despite his efforts, the coinage during his reign was not widely accepted, and the Doppia coin, in particular, was not widely circulated and is now considered a rare collector's item.
