Comment
Varieties exist with different lettering and shape of the papal arms.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Grosso - Innocent XII (Jubilee) 1699 coin from Papal States is that it was minted during the reign of Pope Innocent XII, who was known for his efforts to reform the Catholic Church and his support for the poor. The coin's design features an image of the Pope on one side and an image of the Papal States' coat of arms on the other. The coin was minted as part of a special issue to commemorate the Jubilee year of 1700, which was a time of religious celebration and pilgrimage in the Catholic Church.
