Comment
Commemorates the rebuilding of the Fountain of Santa Maria in Trastevere, said to be the oldest fountain in Rome, by the pope's agent Carlo Fontana.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Pope Innocent XII, who was known for his efforts to reform the Catholic Church and his support for the arts. The coin's design, which features a fountain and the Latin phrase "DAT OMNIBVS AFFLVENTER" (meaning "He gives abundantly to all"), may have been intended to symbolize the Pope's commitment to providing for the needs of his people.
