Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Grosso - Innocent XI (NOCET MINVS - Plain cartouche) 1685 coin from the Papal States is that it features a unique design element. The coin's obverse side bears the image of Pope Innocent XI, while the reverse side features the coat of arms of the Papal States, which includes the keys of St. Peter and the papal tiara. This design was used during the reign 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 silver content and relatively low weight also make it a notable example of coinage from this time period.
