Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1693 Papal States 1 Piastra coin is that it features an image of Innocenzo XII, who was the Pope at the time, on one side, and an image of the Papal keys and the coat of arms of the Papal States on the other. This coin was minted during a time of significant political and religious change in Europe, and its design reflects the influence of the Catholic Church during that period.
