QUATTRINO
1804
Interesting fact
The 1 Quattrino coin from the Kingdom of Etruria, minted between 1803 and 1807, features an interesting design element - the portrait of Louis I, the ruling monarch at the time, is depicted facing left, which was a departure from the traditional right-facing portraits seen on most coins. This design choice was likely made to distinguish the Etrurian coins from those of other Italian states and to emphasize the kingdom's independence and unique identity.
