Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Madonna and child, which was a common motif in art and coinage during the Renaissance period. The use of this image on the coin was likely intended to promote the Catholic Church and its ideals, as the Papal States were a theocratic state ruled by the Pope. Additionally, the use of silver in the coin's composition was a symbol of value and wealth, reflecting the importance of the Papal States as a economic and political power in Europe during this time.
