Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Quattrino - Clement VII (St. Peter standing) ND (1523-1534) coin from Papal States is that it features an image of St. Peter standing, which is a rare design element for coins of that time period. Most coins from the 16th century depicted rulers or religious figures seated or in profile, so the image of St. Peter standing gives this coin a unique and distinctive look. Additionally, the use of copper as the material for the coin was also unusual for the time period, as most coins were made of precious metals like gold or silver.
