Interesting fact
The 1 Quattrino coin from Gubbio (Papal States) featuring Innocent XI (Madonna and child) has a unique feature - it has a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally drilled during the manufacturing process, and it served as a way to thread a string or cord through the coin, allowing it to be worn as an amulet or pendant. This practice was common in the 17th century, and it was believed that carrying a coin with an image of a religious figure would bring good luck and protection to the bearer.
