Interesting fact
The 1 Piastra coin from the Papal States, issued during the reign of Pope Clement XII in 1731, features an image of the Pope on one side and the coat of arms of the Papal States on the other. The coat of arms includes the keys of St. Peter, which symbolize the spiritual authority of the Pope, and the papal tiara, which represents the Pope's temporal power. This design was used on many coins issued by the Papal States during this time period, and it serves as a reminder of the powerful role that the Pope played in the political and religious life of Europe during the 18th century.
