Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Grosso - Innocent XII (EGENO SPES) coin is that it was minted during the papacy of Innocent XII, who was known for his efforts to reform the Catholic Church and his support for the arts. The coin's design, which features an image of the Pope on one side and the coat of arms of the Papal States on the other, reflects the religious and political significance of the Papal States during this time period. Additionally, the use of silver in the coin's minting and its relatively small weight of 1.53 grams make it a unique and valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in the history of the Papal States and the Catholic Church.
