| Additional information |
Adrian VI — born Adriaan Floriszoon Boeyens of Utrecht — was the last non-Italian pope until John Paul II in 1978, and his 13-month pontificate was consumed almost entirely by the Lutheran crisis he proved unable to contain. He arrived in Rome in 1522 openly disgusted by curial corruption, slashed expenditure at the papal court, and died in September 1523 before accomplishing any meaningful reform. His brevity in office makes this fiorino among the shortest-lived papal gold types of the sixteenth century.
