Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Quattrino coin from Ferrara (Papal States) made of Copper weighing 3.45g is that it was issued during the reign of Pope Paul V (1605-1621), who was known for his efforts to reform the Catholic Church and his support for the arts. The coin's design, which features the Pope's image on one side and the Ferrara coat of arms on the other, reflects the close relationship between the Papal States and the city of Ferrara during this time period.
