Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Quattrino (Costanzo Sforza) ND (1473-1483) coin from the City of Pesaro (Italian States) is that it was made of Billon, a type of alloy that was commonly used in the production of coins during the Renaissance period. Billon is a mixture of silver and copper, and it was prized for its durability and resistance to wear and tear. Despite being made of a relatively inexpensive material, the 1 Quattrino coin was still considered a valuable and widely used denomination in its time.
