Comment
Coins date A. IO were issued after the death of Innocent XI before the struck of the official Sede Vacante coinage,Interesting fact
The 1 Quattrino coin from Gubbio (Papal States) featuring Innocent XII (S. Paul) has a unique feature - it has a misspelling in the Latin inscription on the reverse side. Instead of the correct "S. Paulus" (Saint Paul), it reads "S. PauI" with a capital "I" instead of the second "L". This error was likely caused by a mistake in the engraving process and was not corrected before the coins were minted. This makes the coin a rare and interesting collector's item for numismatists.
