Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Pope Innocent XIII, who was known for his efforts to reform the Catholic Church and his support for the arts. The coin's design, which features an image of the Pope on one side and an image of the Papal States' coat of arms on the other, reflects the religious and political significance of the Papal States during this time period. Additionally, the use of silver in the coin's minting process and its relatively small weight of 2.89 grams make it a unique and valuable collector's item for numismatists.
