Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Quadrupla coin from the Papal States, minted during the reign of Pope Paul V (1608-1609), is that it was one of the first coins to feature a portrait of a Pope on one side and an image of St. Peter on the other. This design was a departure from the traditional depiction of papal coats of arms and marked a shift towards more religious-themed coinage.
