Interesting fact
The Quattrino coin from Fermo (Papal States) made of Billon and weighing 1.0g is interesting because it was issued during the reign of Pope Boniface IX, who was the first pope to establish the Papal States as a sovereign entity, making this coin a symbol of the early days of the Papal States' independence.
