Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Pope Alexander III, who was known for his efforts to reform the Catholic Church and assert its authority over secular rulers. The coin's design, featuring an image of Saint Peter, may have been intended to symbolize the Church's authority and influence.
