Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Quattrino ND (1371) from Siena Republic (Italian States) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "S.P.Q.S." (Senatus Populusque Sienensis) which stands for "Senate and People of Siena". This indicates that the coin was minted by the government of the Siena Republic, which was a medieval state that existed from the 12th to the 16th century in what is now the Italian region of Tuscany.
