Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1699 Papal States 1 Piastra coin is that it features an error in the inscription on the reverse side. The inscription "VENTI MARE OBEDIVNT EI" is misspelled, with the word "OBEDIVNT" incorrectly spelled as "OBEDIVNT EI." This error has been noted by numismatists and collectors, making the coin a unique and interesting piece of history.
