Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1736 Papal States 1 Testone coin is that it features an image of Pope Clement XII on one side, while the reverse side bears an image of the Papal keys and the coat of arms of the Papal States. This coin was minted during a time of significant political and religious change in Europe, and its design reflects the powerful influence of the Catholic Church during that period.
