Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Grosso - Urban VIII (St. Peter and Paul) ND (1623-1644) coin from Papal States is that it features an image of St. Peter and St. Paul on one side, while the other side bears the coat of arms of Pope Urban VIII. This coin was minted during Urban VIII's papacy, which lasted from 1623 to 1644, and was used as a standard circulation coin in the Papal States. Despite its small size and relatively low weight, the coin was made of silver (.9167), which gave it a significant value at the time.
