Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Grosso - Clement VIII (Jubilee) ND (1600) coin from Papal States is that it was minted to commemorate the Holy Year of 1600, which was declared by Pope Clement VIII to encourage pilgrimages to Rome and to grant indulgences to those who participated in the religious festivities. The coin's design features an image of the Pope on one side and an image of the Virgin Mary on the other, symbolizing the spiritual significance of the Holy Year.
