Comments

Counterstamped with wreath on Muntoni 242.

During the pontificate of Benedict XIV, in 1756, following the increase in the value of the Grossetto from 13 to 15 Quattrini, the coins issued by Clement XI were withdrawn, obliterated on both sides to cover the value "13" and put into circulation.
