Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Quattrino - Ferdinando II (2nd type) ND (1621-1670) coin from the Grand Duchy of Tuscany is that it features an image of a shield with the Grand Duke's coat of arms on one side, and the value of the coin, "1 Quattrino," on the other side. This design was used for coins minted during the reign of Ferdinando II, who ruled the Grand Duchy of Tuscany from 1621 to 1670.
