Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during a time of great political and religious upheaval in Europe. The Papal States, where the coin was minted, were a powerful and influential force in the region, and the coin's issuance coincided with a period of significant conflict between the Papacy and the Holy Roman Empire. Despite this turmoil, the coin remained a widely used and highly valued form of currency throughout the region, reflecting the enduring importance of trade and commerce even in times of political instability.
