Variant with split date existsInteresting 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 powerful Jesuit order. The coin's inscription, "DEXTERA TVA DOMINE PERCVSSIT INIMICVM," translates to "Your right hand, O Lord, has shattered the enemies," which reflects the Pope's efforts to protect the Church and its values.
