Interesting fact

The interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Pope Innocent XII, who was known for his efforts to reform the Catholic Church and his support for the arts. The coin's design, which features the Pope's image on one side and the coat of arms of Bologna on the other, reflects the close relationship between the Papal States and the city of Bologna during this time period.
