Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Quadrupla coin from Bologna (Papal States) is that it was minted during the reign of Pope Alexander VII, who was known for his efforts to reform the Catholic Church and his support for the arts. The coin's design, which features an image of the Pope on one side and the Papal coat of arms on the other, reflects the religious and political significance of the Papal States during this time period. Additionally, the fact that the coin was made of gold (.986) and weighs 13.2 grams suggests that it was a valuable and highly sought-after currency during its time.
