Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Grosso - Clement XIII (DA PAVPERI) 1758 coin from the Papal States is that it features a unique design element - the coat of arms of Pope Clement XIII, who was the Pope at the time the coin was minted, is depicted on the reverse side of the coin, surrounded by the inscription "DA PAVPERI" which means "From the Pope" in Latin. This coin was minted during a time when the Papal States were facing economic challenges, and the use of silver in the coin's production was a deliberate choice to increase its value and stability.
