Aanvullende informatie

Benedict XIV called the 1750 Jubilee — the 25th Holy Year — and used it as an occasion for genuine ecclesiastical reform rather than mere ceremony. He had already distinguished himself as one of the more intellectually rigorous popes of the 18th century, corresponding with Voltaire and revising the Index. The Jubilee coinage was struck specifically for pilgrims flooding into Rome, functioning as devotional souvenirs as much as currency.

MIR 2582 distinguishes two die varieties, reflected in the Munt 54-55 pairing.
