Interesting fact
The 1 Quattrino coin was a subunit of the Papal States' lira currency, and it was equivalent to one-fourth of a lira. The coin was minted during the reign of Pope Clement XIII, who was the Pope from 1758 to 1769. The coin's design features an image of the Pope on one side and the Papal States' coat of arms on the other. The use of copper as the material for the coin was a common practice during that time period, as it was a relatively inexpensive and abundant metal. Despite its small denomination, the 1 Quattrino coin was an important part of the Papal States' economy and was widely used in everyday transactions.
