Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Groschen - Clement V ND (1305-1314) coin from Comtat Venaissin (Papal States) is that it was minted during a time of great political and religious upheaval. Pope Clement V, who ruled from 1305 to 1314, was the first Pope to reside in Avignon, France, rather than Rome, and his papacy was marked by controversy and conflict, including the suppression of the Knights Templar and the struggle for power between the Church and secular rulers. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the enduring legacy of the Papal States.
