Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Grosso coin from Papal States made of Silver is that it was minted during the reign of Pope John XXIII, who was known for his efforts to reform the Catholic Church and his role in the Western Schism. Despite being minted over 600 years ago, this coin remains a popular collector's item among numismatists today.
