Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Grosso Agontano - Leo X (Anonymous) ND (1519-1521) coin from Perugia (Papal States) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "L" (for Leo X) on the reverse side, which was a distinctive mark of the Papal States' coinage during that period.
