Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Scudo d'Oro - Innocenzo XII 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 sheaf of grain and the motto "DET DEVS DE CÆLO" (God's Gift from Heaven), may have been meant to symbolize the pope's commitment to the well-being of his people and the prosperity of the Papal States.
