Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Quadrupla coin from Papal States is that it was minted during the reign of Pope Paul V (1605-1621) and features his image on one side, while the other side bears the coat of arms of the Papal States. This coin was used as a means of payment and circulated widely throughout Europe during that time. Despite being made of gold, it was not a high-denominational coin and had a relatively low value compared to other gold coins of the time. Today, it is a rare and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
