Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Pope Clement VII, who was known for his controversial policies and conflicts with European powers, including the Holy Roman Empire and King Henry VIII of England. Despite the political tensions, the coin still bears the image of the Pope and the symbol of the Papal States, showcasing the religious and political influence of the Catholic Church during that time.
