I've picked up a couple of new additions. This is a Clement XII 1738 Quattrino with the denomination spelled out on the reverse n two lines, plus the mint and date. Quite a simple design, but my first quattrino from this mint and ruler.

A 1788 double Giulio of Pius VI. The obverse shows the usual Papal heraldic achievement of the triple crown, gold and silver crossed keys behind the coat of arms and the coat of arms shows three stars with God blowing on 3 lilies. The reverse shows the personification of the Holy Mother church seated on clouds holding a set of keys, church building in the background - quote similar to the one I posted earlier from 1783/84. However there are a number of differences. The date is placed in the obverse exergue here while on the previous coin it was not present at all, the legend is substantially different (not just the regnal year) and the shield design is substantially different too - yet they have the same Numista number (Krause only lists the "undated" variety). For other coin series this amount of variation would warrant separate catalogue numbers - which I assume Le Monete dei Papi e degli stati Pontifici by Francesco Muntoni does. Alas that is a catalogue I don't have and I think collecting in this area could really benefit from it.

This appears to be a Gubbio Quattrino. The obverse legend is fairly clear with INNOC XIII, the obverse design, though worn, is the heraldic achievement for Innocent XIII and the reverse legend is SANCTUS SALDVS. However I can't seem to locate a reference for it. It's not on Numista and not listed in Krause either - that I can see.
Grateful for any advice on a reference.
Just for completeness, a kind moderator at Numista has identified this coin and it's now on there. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces474894.html

A new coin and a new Pope. Pius V (1566 - 1572) ND (1566-1572) 1 Quattrino Thanks to tdziemia for clarifying the legend - apparently there are two variants on the reverse. E (PATRNIANI FANI - this coin E (PATERNIANI FANI The mint is also a less encountered one of Fano. The metal is billion so this seems to be from the transition period when this coin later became a copper one. The reverse shows Saint Paternian standing with miter in the left hand
