Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 quattrino coin from Siena Republic is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "S.P.Q.S." (Senatus Populusque Sienensis) which stands for "Sienese Senate and People." This indicates that the coin was minted by the government of the Siena Republic, which was a small independent state in Italy during the Renaissance period.
