Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Grosso - Clement XII coin is that it was minted during the papacy of Pope Clement XII, who was known for his efforts to reform the Catholic Church and his support for the arts. The coin's design, which features a laurel wreath and the Latin phrase "IN CIBOS PAVPERVM" (meaning "in the food of the poor"), reflects the Pope's commitment to helping those in need. Despite being a standard circulation coin, the 1 Grosso - Clement XII coin is now a rare and valuable collector's item, with some examples selling for thousands of dollars.
