Interesting fact
The coin's obverse features an image of Pope Innocent XI, who was known for his efforts to reform the Catholic Church and his opposition to the power of European monarchies. The coin's reverse features the coat of arms of the Papal States, which includes the keys of St. Peter and the papal tiara. The Latin inscription "NOCET MINVS" on the coin means "he does not harm less," which was a motto used by Pope Innocent XI during his papacy.
