Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Grosso - Clement XII (IMPLETI ILLVSIONIBVS) 1739 coin from the Papal States is that it features a unique design element: the coat of arms of Pope Clement XII, who reigned from 1730 to 1740, is depicted on the reverse side of the coin, surrounded by the inscription "IMPLETI ILLVSIONIBVS" which means "fulfilling the wishes of the faithful" in Latin. This design was a departure from the traditional Papal coat of arms, which typically featured the keys of St. Peter and the papal tiara. This distinctive design element makes the coin stand out among other coins of the time and adds to its historical and numismatic significance.
