Another addition It's a 1695 1 Giulio from the rule of Innocent XII from the Rome mint. The reverse is really quite ornate and I don't think I've ever seen a coin with just drapery as the main design - overlaid text notwithstanding.

A new addition Paul V, ND (1605) Quattrino. PAVLVS V PONT MAX Heralic achievement of Paul V S PAVLVS ALMA ROMA Saint Paul standing, facing right, holding book in left hand and sword in right. Ther seems to be different varieties as the legend on reverse here starts at 7 o'clock while the numista variety shows the legend starting at 1 o'clock.

Another Add It's a 1 Giulio of Innocent XI from 1684. The lettering on the back translates approximately to "whoever gives to the poor will have no need themselves"

Quote: The lettering on the back translates approximately to "whoever gives to the poor will have no need themselves" Striking example for a 340 year old coin! You've got a great eye (likewise on the 1695 giulio). Presumably the popes were helping the poor and not only exhorting others.

Quote: Presumably the popes were helping the poor and not only exhorting others. I'm sure the richest were always the largest donators throughout history.    I did acquire a new coin - this Papal States, Pius VI ND (1786) 2 Biaocchi Rome mint. It just arrived this morning. It's actually quite an impressive size and weight. It comes in at 22g and it is 39mm in diameter although big coppers seemed to be quite a widely encountered thing in Europe around this time in general
