Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the Sede Vacante (Vacant See) period of the Papal States, which occurred between the death of Pope Clement X in 1676 and the election of Pope Innocent XI in 1677. This period was marked by political instability and conflict within the Catholic Church, and the coin's minting may have been a way for the Papal States to maintain economic stability and continue to promote their religious and political influence during this time.
