Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Carlini Romani - Pius VI (Small Coat of Arms) coin from the Papal States is that it was minted during a time of great political and social upheaval in Europe. The coin was issued in 1796-1797, just a few years before the French Revolution, which had a profound impact on the political landscape of Europe and the Catholic Church. Despite this turmoil, the coin still bears the image of Pope Pius VI, who was the Pope at the time and a prominent figure in the Catholic Church. This coin serves as a reminder of the resilience and endurance of the Catholic Church during a time of great change and upheaval.
