Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Quattrino coin from the Duchy of Urbino is that it features an image of Francesco Maria II, who was the last Duke of Urbino and ruled from 1574 to 1624. He was known for his military campaigns and his patronage of the arts, and his reign marked the end of the independent Duchy of Urbino before it was annexed by the Papal States.
