One interesting fact about the 1 Quattrino - Urban VIII (S. Peter and S.Paul) ND (1623-1644) coin from Papal States is that it features an image of Saint Peter and Saint Paul on one side, while the other side bears the coat of arms of Pope Urban VIII. This coin was minted during Urban VIII's papacy, which lasted from 1623 to 1644, and was used as a standard circulation coin in the Papal States. Despite being made of copper and weighing only 3 grams, this coin is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
