Interesting fact

The Quattrino coin from Camerino (Italian States) made of Billon and weighing 0.78g is interesting because it was issued during the reign of Pope Paul III (1539-1549), who was known for his efforts to reform the Catholic Church and his support for the arts. This coin may have been used to promote the Pope's agenda and could provide insight into the economic and political climate of the time.
