Interesting fact
The Quattrino coin was used in the Duchy of Mantua, a region in northern Italy, during the 15th century. The coin was made of copper and had a unique design, featuring an image of a shield with a cross on it, surrounded by four eagles. The coin was issued by Frederick I, who was the ruler of the Duchy of Mantua at the time. Despite its small size and relatively low value, the Quattrino coin was an important part of the local economy and was widely used in trade and commerce.
