Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Quattrino - Pius VI (Small Arms; Striped field) coin from Bologna (Papal States) is that it was minted during a time of great political and religious upheaval in Europe. The coin was issued in 1778-1779, a period when the Papal States were facing challenges from the Enlightenment and the rise of secularism, which threatened the power and influence of the Catholic Church. Despite these challenges, the coin still bears the image of Pope Pius VI, highlighting the continued importance of the papacy during this time.
