Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Foghetto - Adrian VI coin is that it was minted during the papacy of Pope Adrian VI, who was the last non-Italian pope before the Renaissance. He was born in the Netherlands and was known for his efforts to reform the Catholic Church and his support for the arts. The coin's design, which features an image of St. Thomas and the pope's name, reflects the religious and cultural influences of the time.
