| Additional information |
Innocent XIII's pontificate lasted less than three years, from 1721 to 1724, and his papacy was consumed by the political fallout of the Chinese Rites Controversy and pressure from the major European powers over Jesuit influence. Coinage from his reign is scarce simply because there was so little time to produce it. The Gubbio mint, one of the smaller provincial operations within the Papal States, struck copper fractions for local circulation with no expectation they would survive in quantity.
Berman 2543 confirms this as a Gubbio issue, distinct from the Roman mint's parallel production under the same pope.
