Interesting fact

The 1 Quattrino coin from the Roman Sister Republic (Italian States) was designed by Italian engraver and artist, Giovanni Battista Gioja. He was known for his work on various coins and medals during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, and his designs often featured classical themes and motifs. The 1 Quattrino coin features an image of a woman representing the Roman Republic, surrounded by an olive wreath and other symbols of liberty and prosperity.
