Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Pope Pius VI, who was the last Pope to rule over the Papal States before they were annexed by France in 1798. The coin features an image of the Pope on one side and the coat of arms of the Legate Boncompagni Ludovisi on the other. The use of silver in the coin's composition and its relatively low weight make it a valuable and collectible item among numismatists.
