Comment

The addition of initials AB (in obvese or reverse) distinguish the 1/2 Bolonino of Innocent XIII from those of Clement XI.

Interesting fact

The ½ Bolognino coin from Bologna (Papal States) made of Copper weighing 3.07 g is interesting because it was minted during the reign of Pope Innocent XIII, who was known for his efforts to reform the Catholic Church and his support for the arts and sciences.
