Interesting fact
The 1 Quattrino coin from Gubbio (Papal States) made of Copper weighing 2.1 g, issued during the reign of Pope Benedict XIII in 1725, features an interesting fact. Despite being a circulating commemorative coin, it was not legal tender, meaning it was not recognized as official currency by the Papal States. Instead, it was used as a token or medallion to commemorate the Jubilee year, which was a special religious event in the Catholic Church. This highlights the diverse use of coins beyond their monetary value, serving as symbols of significance and collectibility.
