Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Picciolo coin from Macerata (Papal States) is that it was minted during the reign of Pope Benedict XII, who was known for his efforts to reform the Catholic Church and promote financial stability within the Papal States. Despite being made of a relatively low-value material, the coin still holds historical significance as a symbol of the economic and political systems of the time.
