Interesting fact

The 1 Quattrino coin from the Duchy of Milan, issued during the reign of Charles III (1725-1736), was made of copper and weighed 1.1 grams. Despite its small size and relatively low value, this coin was an important part of the local economy in Milan and surrounding areas during that time. It was used for everyday transactions and was a symbol of the Duchy's economic and political power. Today, this coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, highly sought after by numismatists and historians interested in the history of the Italian States.
