Interesting fact

The 1 Quattrino coin from the Duchy of Mirandola, issued during the reign of Alessandro I (1602-1637), features a unique design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally added to the coin to signify its value, as it was believed that the hole represented the coin's worth in the eyes of the people. This design element is a distinct characteristic of coins from the Duchy of Mirandola and sets it apart from other coins of the time.
