Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Quattrino - Alessandro VIII 1690 from Bologna (Papal States) coin is that it features an image of Pope Alexander VIII on one side, while the reverse side bears the coat of arms of the Papal States. This coin was minted during Alexander VIII's papacy, which lasted from 1689 to 1691. Despite its small size and relatively low denomination, this coin is a valuable piece of numismatic history, offering a glimpse into the financial and political systems of the Papal States during the 17th century.
