Commentary

Comme de nombreuses monnaies papales portant l’effigie du pape, cette monnaie a été montée. C’était souvent le cas des pèlerins qui souhaitaient à leur retour de Rome ramener une image du pape en souvenir.
Like many papal coins bearing the image of the Pope, this coin was mounted. This was often the case for pilgrims who, upon returning from Rome, wished to bring back an image of the Pope as a souvenir.
