Interesting fact

The 1 Quattrino coin from Bologna (Papal States) made of Copper and weighing 2.1g is interesting because it was issued during the reign of Pope Pius VI in 1796, a time of great political and social change in Europe. The coin's design features the Papal tiara and keys, symbolizing the Pope's authority, and the reverse side shows the coat of arms of the Papal States. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, providing a glimpse into the history of the Papal States and the Catholic Church during that time.
