Interesting fact
The ½ Grosso coin from the Papal States, issued during the reign of Innocent XI (1676-1684), features an interesting design element - a crowned shield with the keys of St. Peter and the papal tiara on the reverse side. This symbolism represents the papal authority and the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven, highlighting the spiritual and temporal power of the Pope.
