Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Quattrino - Clement XI 1706-1720 coin from Bologna (Papal States) is that it was minted during a time of significant economic and political change in the region. The Papal States, which were a series of territories in Italy under the direct rule of the Pope, were facing financial difficulties and political instability in the early 18th century. Despite these challenges, the Papal States continued to mint coins, including the 1 Quattrino, which was a small copper coin that was widely used in everyday transactions. The fact that this coin was minted during a time of turmoil highlights the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of the Papal States during this period.
