Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1721 Papal States 1 Grosso coin is that it was minted during the reign of Pope Innocent XIII, who was known for his efforts to reform the Catholic Church and its institutions. The coin's design features an image of the Pope on one side and the Papal States' coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the Church's authority and influence in the region. Additionally, the coin's silver content and relatively low weight make it a unique and valuable collector's item for numismatists.
