Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Carlini coin from the Papal States, minted during the reign of Benedict XIV (1749-1752), is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "S.P.Q.R." (Senatus Populusque Romanus) on the reverse side. This shield is a nod to the ancient Roman Republic and signifies the Papal States' connection to the Roman Empire.
