Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ½ Scudo - Pius VI (Holy Mother Church) 1777 coin from the Papal States is that it features an image of the Holy Mother Church on the reverse side, which was a common motif on coins issued by the Papal States during the reign of Pope Pius VI. This coin was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in the Papal States, as the Catholic Church was facing challenges from the Enlightenment and the rise of secularism in Europe. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a symbol of the enduring influence of the Catholic Church and its commitment to spreading the message of Christianity.
