Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Grosso - Gregory XII ND (1406-1415) coin from Papal States is that it was issued during a time of great turmoil in the Catholic Church, known as the Western Schism. The coin was minted during the reign of Pope Gregory XII, who was one of the three rival popes at the time, and its issuance was likely an attempt to bolster the financial resources of the Papal States during this period of political and religious upheaval. Despite the tumultuous context in which it was minted, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
