Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1694 Papal States 1 Piastra coin featuring Innocenzo XII is that it was minted during a time of significant political and religious tension. The coin's inscription, "COGITO COGITATIONES PACIS," translates to "I think thoughts of peace," which was a message of hope and unity during a period of conflict and division within the Catholic Church and Europe. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item due to its historical significance and rarity.
