Historical background
ITALY - PAPAL STATES - CLEMENT XII (Lorenzo Corsini)
(12/07/1730-6/02/1740)
On January 12, 1734, Clement XII carried out a monetary reform relating to the divisional coins, reducing the weight of the giulio and grosso, which is commemorated by a coin which takes up the Latin formula "Aere, Argento, Auro, Flando Feriundo", that of the monetary triumvirs of the ancient roman republic.
