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 a pastoral scene along the body of the coin, may have been intended to reflect the Pope's interests and values.
