| Additional information |
Clement XI's pontificate was defined almost entirely by the Jansenist controversy — his 1713 bull Unigenitus would split the French church for decades — but 1711 placed him at a different crisis: the War of the Spanish Succession had drawn the Papal States into an impossible diplomatic position, with Clement having recognized Philip V of Spain only to face imperial troops occupying Comacchio by year's end. Gold coinage from this pontificate is relatively scarce in any grade, a consequence of the chronic fiscal strain the wars of that decade imposed on the Roman treasury.
