Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Pope John XXII, who was the second Pope to reside in Avignon, France, rather than Rome, Italy. This coin was minted in Parma, which was part of the Papal States, and it features an image of the Pope on one side and a cross on the other. The use of billon, a copper and silver alloy, was a common practice during this time period, as it was a more affordable alternative to pure silver or gold coins.
