Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Pope Innocent XI, who was known for his efforts to reform the Catholic Church and his opposition to the powerful noble families of Rome. Despite his efforts, the coin still bears the image of the Pope, reflecting the ongoing influence of the Church in the Papal States.
