Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Grosso - Pius IV (St. Peter standing) ND (1559-1565) coin from Papal States is that it features an image of St. Peter standing, which is a rare design element for coins of that time period. Most coins from the 16th century depicted rulers or other religious figures seated or in profile, so the image of St. Peter standing gives this coin a unique and distinctive look. Additionally, the coin's silver content and relatively low weight make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
