Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Pope Pius VI, who was the last Pope to rule over the Papal States before they were annexed by France in 1798. The coin's design features an image of the Pope on one side and an image of the Papal States' coat of arms on the other. The coin was minted to commemorate the Jubilee year of 1775, which was a time of religious celebration and pilgrimage in the Catholic Church.
