Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Grosso - Clement X (Madonna and child) ND (1660-1676) coin from Papal States is that it features an image of the Madonna and child on one side, which was a common design element on coins during the Renaissance period. The use of religious imagery on coins was a way for the Catholic Church to promote its influence and authority, and this coin is a prime example of that practice.
