Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Giulio - Clement XI (St. Peter - standing) 1717 coin from the Papal States is that it features an image of St. Peter standing on the obverse side, which is a unique design element for a coin of its time. Most coins from this era featured a seated or enthroned St. Peter, so the standing pose is a notable departure from the standard design. This design choice may have been intended to convey a sense of strength, power, or leadership, and it adds to the coin's historical and artistic significance.
