Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Muraiola 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, which features an image of the Pope, reflects the religious and political significance of the Papal States during this time period.
