Interesting fact
The 1 Quattrino coin from the Papal States, issued during the reign of Benedict XIV in 1752, features a unique design element - a wreath made of flowers. This design was a departure from the traditional wreath made of laurel leaves that was commonly used on coins of the time. The use of flowers on the coin was meant to symbolize the abundance and prosperity of the Papal States during Benedict XIV's reign.
