Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Grosso - Sixtus IV ND (1483-1484) coin from Papal States is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "S.P.Q.R." (Senatus Populusque Romanus) on the reverse side, which represents the Senate and People of Rome. This symbolism highlights the coin's connection to the ancient Roman Empire and adds to its historical significance.
