Interesting fact
The Papal States, where this coin was minted, was a sovereign state ruled by the Pope from 756 to 1870. During this time, the Papal States minted their own coins, including the Denier coin , which was made of silver and weighed 1.28 grams. The coin features the monogram of Pope John X (914-915) on one side and the coat of arms of the Papal States on the other. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in the history of the Papal States and the Catholic Church.
