Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Giulio - Benedict XIV (POSSESS) 1741 coin from the Papal States is that it features a unique design element - the letters "POSSESS" on the reverse side of the coin, which stands for "Pontificia Ostia Sedes Sancta" or "Holy See of the Pontifical Seat." This was a special minting that year to commemorate the transfer of the papal seat from Rome to Bologna.
