Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 quattrino coin from the County of Desana is that it features a unique design element - a dolphin (delfino in Italian) on the reverse side, which gives the coin its name "Delfino Tizzone." This design was chosen to symbolize the region's connection to the sea and its maritime history.
