Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1672 Papal States 1 Piastra coin is that it features a unique design element - the inscription "VT AMVNDETIS MAGIS" on the reverse side, which translates to "And greater love than this" in Latin. This inscription is a reference to the Bible verse John 15:13, where Jesus says, "Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends." This coin was minted during the reign of Pope Clement X, who was known for his charitable works and his efforts to help those in need. The inclusion of this inscription on the coin may have been a way to reflect the Pope's values and emphasize the importance of selflessness and compassion.
