Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Grosso coin from the Papal States, featuring Benedict XIV, is that it contains the inscription "MACVLA NON EST IN TE" which translates to "The glory is not yours" in Latin. This inscription was used on several coins during Benedict XIV's papacy and serves as a reminder of the humility and modesty that the Pope advocated for.
