Comment
Diameter varies from 21-23 mmInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Quattrino - Pius VII (Papal year, small keys) 1802 coin from the Papal States is that it was minted during a time of great political and religious upheaval. The Papal States were a series of territories in Italy that were under the direct rule of the Pope, and in the early 19th century, they were facing challenges from the French Revolution and the rise of secularism. Despite these challenges, the Papal States continued to mint coins, including the 1 Quattrino, which was a small copper coin that was widely used in everyday transactions. The coin's design features an image of Pope Pius VII, who was the Pope at the time, and the small keys on the coin symbolize the keys of St. Peter, which are a symbol of the Pope's authority.
