Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Quattrino coin from the Grand Duchy of Tuscany is that it was designed by the famous Italian artist and engraver, Giovanni Battista Foggini. Foggini was known for his work in various fields, including sculpture, painting, and numismatics, and his designs for the Tuscan coins were highly regarded for their beauty and detail. The 1 Quattrino coin, in particular, features an image of Grand Duke Pietro Leopoldo on one side and the Tuscan coat of arms on the other, and is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
