Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Giulio - Clement XIII coin is that it was minted during a time of significant political and religious change in the Papal States. Pope Clement XIII, who ruled from 1758 to 1769, was known for his efforts to reform the Catholic Church and his support for the Jesuit order, which had been suppressed by many European powers. The coin's obverse features an image of the Pope, while the reverse bears the inscription "OBLECTAT IVSTOS MISERICORDIA," which translates to "He will gather the just with mercy." This coin is a rare and valuable example of papal numismatics and serves as a tangible link to the history of the Catholic Church during this period.
