Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Grosso - Innocent XI coin is that it features an ornate cartouche on the reverse side, which includes the coat of arms of the Papal States and the inscription "NOCET MINVS" (meaning "it does not harm"). This design was used during the reign of Pope Innocent XI (1676-1689) and was meant to symbolize the papacy's authority and protection.
