Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Quattrino - Ferdinando III 1791-1800 coin from the Grand Duchy of Tuscany is that it was designed by the renowned Italian engraver and artist, Giovanni Battista Foggini. Foggini was known for his work in various fields, including sculpture, painting, and numismatics, and his designs were highly regarded for their beauty and detail. The 1 Quattrino coin features an image of Ferdinando III on one side and an image of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany's coat of arms on the other, both of which were designed by Foggini. This coin is a great example of Foggini's artistic skill and his contributions to the field of numismatics.
