Comment
Weight varies.Interesting fact
The 1 Quattrino coin from Gubbio (Papal States) made of Copper weighing 3.25g, minted during the reign of Pope Innocent XI (1682-1688), features an inscription on its obverse side that reads "INNOCENT XI PONT MAX". This inscription is interesting because it highlights the papal title "Pont Max" which is short for "Pontifex Maximus", meaning "Greatest Pontiff" or "Chief Priest". This title was used by the Pope as the supreme spiritual leader of the Catholic Church, emphasizing his role as the successor of Saint Peter and the spiritual leader of the global Catholic community.
