Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Grosso - Julius III 1550 coin from the Papal States is that it features an image of Pope Julius III on one side and the Papal coat of arms on the other. This coin was minted during Julius III's papacy, which lasted from 1550 to 1555, and was likely used as a way to promote the Pope's image and agenda throughout the Papal States.
