Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin 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 Clement VII. This coin was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Papal States, as Pope Clement VII was involved in a bitter conflict with the Holy Roman Emperor, Charles V. Despite this, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and beauty, showcasing the skill of the mint's engravers and the rich history of the Papal States.
