Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Testone - Clement XI (QVI MISERETVR PAVPERI BEATVS ERIT) ND (1705-1709) coin from the Papal States is that it features a unique design on its reverse side. Instead of the typical image of a saint or a religious symbol, this coin bears the image of a beehive, which is said to represent the industrious nature of the Papal States during the reign of Pope Clement XI. This design was chosen to highlight the Pope's efforts to promote agriculture and commerce in the region, and it has become a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
