..this is the last of the 3 coins from the slow boat from Italy..and this guy is remembered as mostly one of the good Popes...born an illegitimate son of Guilano, brother Lorenzo the Mag. and victim of the infamous Pazzi coup de tat assassination where on Easter Sunday, April 26 1478 at Mass in church and in front of an audience of 10,000, they tried to kill both brothers, but only wounded Lorenzo, who would adopt and raise Guilio di Guulano de Medici, destined to become Pope Clement Vll, as his own...

He sponsored the artistic works of Cellini, Raphael and Michelangelo, including the completion of the Sistine chapel. He forbade the persecution of Jews in Rome and ordered the Inquisition to leave them alone
