Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Quattrino - Pius VII (Papal year, large keys) 1816-1821 coin from the Papal States is that it was minted during a time of great political and religious change. Pope Pius VII, who ruled from 1800 to 1823, was instrumental in the coin's design and production, and his papacy saw significant shifts in the political landscape of Europe, including the rise of Napoleon and the fall of the Holy Roman Empire. Despite these changes, the coin remained a stable and widely used form of currency throughout the region.
