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 inscription "NON PRODERVNT IN DIE VLTIONIS" translates to "They do not prosper on the day of prosperity," which may suggest that the Pope was emphasizing the importance of spiritual wealth over material wealth. Additionally, the coin's silver content and weight suggest that it was a significant denomination in the Papal States' currency system.
