This type is listed in the SCWC for 1738-39 only; it was struck at Gubbio, which issued most of the copper coinage of the Papal States in the first part of the eighteenth century. There are quattrini for 1739 struck at Rome KM 884. Berman notes a reverse legend "QVAT/TRINO/GVBBIO" with the "N" reversed; here, the "N" is correct but "GVB" is abbreviated.
