Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Pope Clement XI, who was known for his efforts to reform the Catholic Church and his support for the arts. The coin's design, featuring the pope's bust on one side and the Papal States' coat of arms on the other, reflects the religious and political significance of the Papal States during this time period.
