Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Grosso - Innocent XI coin is that it was minted during the papacy of Pope Innocent XI, who was known for his efforts to reform the Catholic Church and his opposition to the powerful noble families of Rome. Despite his efforts, the coin still features the traditional design of the Papal States, including the image of the pope and the inscription "NOCET MINVS" (meaning "he does not harm anyone") on the cartouche. This coin is a unique piece of history that reflects the political and religious climate of the time.
