Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Quattrino - Julius II ND (1503-1513) from Viterbo (Papal States) coin is that it was minted during the reign of Pope Julius II, who was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to restore the Papal States to their former glory. The coin's design features an image of the Pope on one side and the coat of arms of Viterbo on the other, symbolizing the city's allegiance to the Papal States. Despite its small size and relatively low value, the coin is a significant historical artifact that provides insight into the economic and political climate of the time.
