Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Quattrino - Ferdinando III 1801 coin from the Grand Duchy of Tuscany is that it was designed by the artist Giuseppe Pelligrini, who was a prominent sculptor and engraver of the time. Pelligrini's design features a portrait of Ferdinando III on the obverse side of the coin, with an image of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany's coat of arms on the reverse side. The coin's design is considered a prime example of the neoclassical style, which was popular during the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
