Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Pope Clement VII, who was known for his controversial papacy. He was the first pope to be elected during the Western Schism, a period of great division within the Catholic Church that lasted from 1378 to 1417. Despite this, the coin still bears the image of Saint Peter, indicating the Pope's connection to the apostle and the Catholic Church's claim to spiritual authority.
