I've been told that this mess of a coin is from Comtat Venaissin, but it's too far gone to determine the specific pope (or at least the photos don't allow it). Hopefully I'll find it and get some better pics It came to my attention as I was checking my pic archive that I actually did have some (slightly) better pics...   I looked it up on Numista and it does seem to be a patard from Comtat Venaissin; the type is attested on Numista for several reigns ranging from Clement VIII (1592-1605) to Innocent X (1644-1655), but I'd definitely need to look at the coin much more closely, and/or take much better photos, to have any idea which specific reign it's from (if it's even still determinable). |

 I think that is the first reign for Papal coins in the post-Carolingian era, after a 300+ year hiatus. And indeed, great condition for that tiny denomination that are often unreadable. I love how it took the entire coin -- both sides -- except for the cross, to just spell out the pope's name and number!! |

I was going to post this one which does fall under the Papal States category (at least Numista categorise it as such) though isn't issued by a Pope. Hopefully it is within the scope of the thread. The issuing authority is the Roman Senate (1188-1252). The below is the description given on the Numista site but this example seems slightly different. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces155375.htmlSENATVS • P • Q • R Senatus Popolusque Romanorum Cross with misshapened omega, point, alpha and star in quarters. Legend around ROMA CAPVT MVN "S" flanked by two horizontal half moons above comb-like instrument with 11 teeth.  The above example seems to have a sun and moon either side of the central S rather than 2 moons in the upper quadrants of the reverse inner section. (kinda like the Tibetian 5 Sho coins that have variations of sun and moon) Edited by Bacchus2
