Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Pope Innocent XI, who was known for his efforts to reform the Catholic Church and his opposition to the power of European monarchies. The coin's design, which features the pope's name and the motto "DEXTERA TVA DOMINE PERCVSSIT INIMICVM" (Your right hand, Lord, has shattered the enemy), reflects the pope's strong leadership and commitment to the Church's mission.
