Interesting fact
The 2 Carlini coin from the Papal States, minted during the reign of Benedict XIV (1747-1749), is interesting because it was made of silver (.917) and features an image of the Pope on one side and the Papal coat of arms on the other. This coin was used as standard circulation currency in the Papal States during that time period.
