Interesting fact
The 1 Quattrino - Benedict XIV (Jubilee) 1750 coin from the Papal States is interesting because it was minted during a time when the Papal States were facing significant economic challenges. Despite the challenges, the coin was made of copper, which was a relatively valuable material at the time, indicating that the Papal States were still able to produce coins of some value despite their financial difficulties. Additionally, the coin's design features an image of Benedict XIV, who was known for his efforts to reform the Catholic Church and promote education, making it a unique piece of history.
