Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Grosso - Clement XIII coin is that it features a unique design element: the Pope's crowned shield, which is adorned with a small image of a bee. This bee symbolizes industry and hard work, reflecting the values that Pope Clement XIII wished to promote during his papacy (1758-1769).
