Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Quattrino - Benedict XIV 1744 coin from Ravenna (Papal States) is that it features an image of Pope Benedict XIV on one side and an image of the Papal States' coat of arms on the other. This coin was minted during a time when the Papal States were facing significant political and economic challenges, including conflicts with neighboring states and a decline in trade and commerce. Despite these challenges, the Papal States continued to mint coins like the 1 Quattrino, which remained an important part of everyday commerce for many years.
