| Additional information |
The 1650 Jubilee — Innocent X's Holy Year — was a politically fraught affair. The papacy was still absorbing the humiliation of the Peace of Westphalia two years prior, which had sharply curtailed papal influence in European affairs. Innocent X had formally protested the treaty with the bull Zelo Domus Dei, to no effect. The Jubilee became, in part, a reassertion of spiritual authority Rome could no longer exercise diplomatically. Gubbio's mint, a minor provincial operation, struck this quattrino to meet local devotional demand from pilgrims moving through the Papal States.
