Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Quattrino - Benedict XIII 1724-1730 coin from Bologna (Papal States) is that it was issued during a time of significant economic and political change in the region. The Papal States, which covered much of central Italy, were facing financial difficulties and political instability during this period, and the issuance of this coin was likely an attempt to address these issues. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable piece of numismatic history, offering a glimpse into the economic and political climate of the time.
